For me, Emile Lahoud as person is nothing. I will never forget what he did to GMA in 1990 and how he ran 3end el souriye like a coward. I never saw him as patriotic and won't. Today he is defending only the position he is in, not for us wala for the opposition. GMA never defended him he only defends the presidency status in Lebanon. The only power in the christians hands that the 14 feb gang are trying to take over by their dirty twists. I don't think that Lahoud when he came by force as president for the second time he was that patriotic. He never was patriotic and his actions now are revenge more than anything else even if it helps the opposition cause.
