Despite my criticism of the blind zeal with which the country celebrated the (s)election of our new president, I think I do need to give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, Syria is no longer our occupier, he was elected by all of our parliamentarians fair and square, and he has stated that he will try to reconcile all of the differences between our political leaders. Despite the similarities in background, I shouldn't assume that he will be the same kind of president that Lahoud was. So I will hold back any further criticism until it is warranted.
In the meantime, my sentiments closely match those of Tantalus of Phrygia. (WARNING: not for the faint of heart)
