Now that they are gone, a "to do" list
Now that the Syrians are gone, where should we start?
1. To make sure ALL of the Syrians are gone, you never know with the Syrian regime, we need to take control of our secret service and make sure they do a good job on tracking any remaining Syrian secret service
2. Electoral law: Kada if possible, if not let us go for a modified law of 2000. Whatever the law is, as long as it is done on time. Why? Simply because our economy cannot withstand any more instability and second any elected deputy will change stance once elected, do you think this will change now
3. Corruption: that is the biggest challenge. I always believed that if you have good economy, half of the political problems will be solved. However, no country can achieve economic resurrection if corruption prevails. Fighting corruption is #1
4. Economy: We have enough Lebanese brains to solve the problems of the world so our economic problems can be solved too. We can take our economy to where it needs to be in nowadays globalization
5. Society: we need to agree how we are going to build the next generation. Let us concentrate on the things we agree on first. Later we can solve the issues we see differently.
It is a dream that the Syrians are no longer in Lebanon, but if we fail to build our country and we go back to work for our own interest forgetting the common one, this dream might become a nightmare.
