says the crisis-stricken and cash-strapped Arab country is in "danger" and would sink "like the Titanic" if a new government was not formed within the next two months.
"The country is in danger if a government isn't formed in two months. The country as a whole is [like the] Titanic. It's time we all wake up because in the end, if the ship sinks, there'll be no one left," Berri said during a parliament session in Beirut on Monday.
Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

More than 200 people were killed and over 6,000 others injured in the giant blast. Dozens of people are still unaccounted for.
