Great leaders surround themselves by qualified and competent people who can challenge them and propel them to higher heights. Many others surround themselves by less capable ones in order to have the last word and dominate

Now, and I say this with the most sorrow and heaviest of hearts; Lebanese leaders, and one particular group in the political class, surrounds itself with minions, Yes-men, henchmen, and whipping boys of the worst possible calibre. The level of amateurship, incompetence and corruption is mind-blowing

Just to hear them talk nonsense and non-stop is physically gut-wrenching

For a country capable of so much more… Words escape me

NB

It’s really unfair to minions to use their photo to illustrate my point. Minions are fun and cute little things
