Lebanon's Views on Christians

The state of Lebanon is in a state of content, especially Christians. The office for the President's position have not been filled yet and time is ticking. The postion have been empty for the pass five days. Emile Lahoud who was the former President and his term ended at November 23, 2007. There have been power struggles between the Sunni and the Shi'ite Muslim group. Without a President to control the incident, chaos might erupt through the country in due time. Politicals call this event without a president to be known as a vacuum in the presidency. Former President Amin Gemayei said that "when there is a vacuum in the presidency of the republic, it directly translates into the absence of Christians from the constitutional structure and the increased marginalisation of their role."

Christians are worry about not having a president. Wars might take place without a leader governing over its nation. The United States wants a election to take place, to election a new president immediately. They don't want anything bad to happen to Lebanon and its citizens. Yacoub Sarrah, a former minister said that Christians doesn't have anyone to back them up when they are in trouble. The Sunnis have the support of Saudi Arabia and the Shi'ites have the support of the Iranian sponsorship. Sarrah called the support as a foreign backer; a foreign backer is when the Christians needed. Their existence as a Christians position is in a state of endangerment.
