WHO IS TO BLAME FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN LEBANON?

Yes, I know, I shall undoubtedly hear howls of complaints and denials from nearly everybody. But I persist and sign, because I believe that, in the same way that individuals seek personal improvement through education and by acquiring the right habits, so should nations, if they want to progress, study and admit their own weaknesses and attempt to overcome them.

When one reads the local and the international press one always notices that the responsibility for any bad event occurring in any country is always attributed to some individuals, groups of individuals, or political parties. Seldom is the Nation pointed out as the guilty party.

The result of that national denial is that everyone tends to put the blame on somebody else, and no one is ready to admit that the error may have arisen from a national defect that ought to be treated appropriately.

This is the reason behind the attached presentation. Conscientious readers, I am sure, will come to see the truth in it. I hope that they will conclude that something must be done about it, on a nationwide basis, and educate an entire population, rather than putting the blame on a specific social class or the opposing political party.
