As history repeats itself, Lebanese rejoice.

MPs are coming out of the woodwork to nominate Fouad Sanioura as our next prime minister, or as I will call the post if Sanioura gets it, Minister Prime (for some reason, it sounds more sinister that way).

Didn't the guy just say a few days ago that he absolutely positively wasn't interested in the job anymore? What changed his mind?

I really don't get it. Don't they want to forget the nightmare they put the country through over the past few years? Don't they want to put the past behind them and start with a clean slate? How is naming the same guy who headed the last fiasco going to solve anything?? This isn't the beginning of a new era. It's the beginning of a new fiasco.

While we're at it, why don't we invite Syrian troops back on our soil? Let's go all out and ask the Israelis to occupy the south again. We can change South Lebanon's name to Northern Israel. Hezbollah should move back into downtown Beirut, the green line should be reinstated and they should change the new identity cards to include the holder's religion. This country doesn't make any sense.

So while our sinister prime minister gets ready to pucker his lips for America's ass and the opposition prepares for another hand amputation operation, let's hang up more posters of Suleiman and pretend anything in this country is ever going to change.

What a farce.
