Even though I hate feudalism to the guts, it would be very wrong to dismiss Samy as having potential just because he is part of a feudal family, especially in a country like Lebanon.
To me , I hated him in the elections, he was low, he was lying and he was making plays on TV just to get people to vote him. However, I would rather have all 14 March leaders like Samy rather than Walid Jumblat simply because Samy has some keen spirit and no matter what, he is more straight in what he wants than walid jumblat. With leaders like Walid Jumblat, we will eaither go in another war or which is more probable live in more sh*t for the next 20 years procrastinating every thing that would benefit lebanon and keep maneuvering and living in forms of parties against parties. With people like Sami ,however, we either face another war or have a more "honorable" political opponent which brings more lifeliness to the scene. For example,I hate to say it but walid jumblat would have never disarmed hizbulla, he was always maneuvering. Sami on the other hand, wants to do that. If it was back to me I would rather have Samy as a political opponent even if it means he would reach his goal and disarm hizbulla, because sincerely I'm tired and sick of politicians like Jumblat.
All that ofcourse doesn't mean I like him, In fact I despised him during the elections and I still despise a lot of what he does now, it's just that I feel better seeing him do the steps he is doing.
