The flat truth

After the assassination of Pierre Gemayel, some people went down to the streets and burned pictures of Mr. Michel Aoun. The Tayyer website mentioned that these people were not identified as being Kataeb, but some other Lebanese political group in an indication to the Lebanese Forces.

On the other hand, and on the forum of the official and the unofficial forums of the Lebanese Forces, there were so many voices rising against Mr. Aoun, as if he was the personality to blame for the assassination.

During the dark ages of man, people thought that the earth was flat and motionless, and that the sun, the moon and the planets and stars rotated around the earth. There were many scientific formulas to calculate the years, the days, and even eclipses based on that assumption, and these formulas were extremely accurate. But as accurate as they were, one fact remained, and it was the fact that they were based on wrong assumptions.

Back to present day Lebanon, Mr. Aoun mentioned that this assassination might be to drive a wedge between the Lebanese Christians. Whether Mr. Aoun thinks that the world rotates around him or not is a different matter, but in this case, his calculations seem to be working.
