"Whatever failed in Stage 1 was tried again, in a slightly different form, in Stage 2."
"Perhaps because of the growing overlap between the army and government - ministers who speak like officers and officers who think like politicians - a pathological confusion over the division of labor has developed. "
"Instead, the choice fell on something in the middle, which no one ever managed to define."
As the article indicates, that overlap goes both ways. The result, as far as governance and the peace process is concerned is a muddy swamp in which the ministries and the investigation committees and the so-called partners and the terrorists thrash about endlessly performing the same useless rituals to the detriment of both electorates. Interesting that Lebanon is stuck in that swamp too. |
