One Free Sabbatical Year To All Leaders

Let us propose one sabbatical year to all leaders in Lebanon.
They can go on vacation wherever they want and "we will happily pay them the vacation".
It will be far cheaper on our pocket than a civil war.

Hawaii, Tahiti, Madagascar, etc are all fine destinations that our leaders can check out and enjoy before they die (and before they kill us). They can get a 5 star hotel or better yet, they can try (for once) a nice camping site. It will get them to meet average people and learn more about the proletariat.

If they wish, and given their legendary wisdom, our leaders can send postcards or letters of advice to the party or group they are affiliated with. But they cannot make public speeches for 1 full year. Before leaving on vacation, they are welcome to impose… sorry, I meant they are welcome to choose a replacement leader, for 1 full year.

Every time they appear on TV or radio, our leaders make fool of themselves. So our advice for them to go on vacation is for their own good. Preserve a bit of what's left of that image!

Our beloved and valiant leaders think and talk like high school students. We can suggest that while on vacation, and between a hike and a snorkel, they catch up a little on their readings of Moliere or Shakespeare (or Orwell).

In one of his latest Napoleonic speeches, Michel Aoun mentioned "his rights" (in Arabic he says houkoukna in a clownish way) that he wants no matter what. I am not sure what rights he's talking about. But we too have rights! And we want our rights: all leaders go on vacation and leave us in peace (literally).

If you think about it, their sabbatical year would also be a well deserved vacation for us! In essence, we would be paying ourselves a nice vacation. Can you imagine a Lebanon without the current collection of leaders? I can… and I can see it shining again, I can see a true spring…
