My point was that he has in him the dictator's grain, charisma and charm are great and essential but that shouldn't shadow mistakes.Pazuzu HSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11466894464079861077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20232963.post-1158367955117956462006-09-15T17:52:00.000-07:002006-09-15T17:52:00.000-07:00What was the difference between Alexander the Grea...What was the difference between Alexander the Great/Ceasar and Napoleon on one hand and Hitler on the other hand? <BR/><BR/>On the face of it it's hard to tell. All of them tried to conqure the word. All caused world wars. All killed lots of people and were personally responsible for atrocities. <BR/><BR/>And yet... there is a world of difference between these conqueres of the world. Alexander, Ceasar and Napoleon inspired people by giving them hope. They had real charisma, gave people hope, drove progress and removed discrimination. Hitler was driven by hate and nothing but hate.<BR/><BR/>Bachir Gamayel was Lebanon's hope. He made mistakes. On a personal level he was crazy. he could have had a cushy life in the US without any risk to himself or his family. <BR/><BR/>When the pros and cons are counted, Bachir comes out on the top of the likes of Auon and Nazrallah. He was guilty of ambition for himself and for Lebanon. Auon is only guilty of ambition for himself. Nazrallah stands for nothing but hate.<BR/><BR/>When Bachir died, the hope has died for Lebanon. What we see happening today is a direct result of Bachir's death. When Nasrallah or Aoun die, there may be light in the end of the tunnel for Lebanon and the region.BHChhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178467606233596591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20232963.post-1158162866776585512006-09-13T08:54:00.000-07:002006-09-13T08:54:00.000-07:00hi pazuzusorry havent been visiting your site but ...hi pazuzu<BR/>sorry havent been visiting your site but then im damn busy these days, read a bit of this post & just wanted to say its always the same, extremists hardly leave their original corner, very few revolutionists were able to transform themselves into statesmen. Bashi or nassralah or arafat, names will differ but the attitude is the same.jokermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367902156353535630noreply@blogger.com
