Same thing if you hear any other politician.
Not at all. But of course it takes some skills to notice the difference. I can give you another example: Nasrallah. I share neither his political, worldly or heavenly views, yet he comes out as someone I'd trust with my life in a battle if we were on the same front.
just from the top of my head:
When was the last time you heard Sanioura for example?
if you hear Walid Jomblat you get the same impression
as well as others.....
So if this is your only scale of measurement, no one is ever bad or corrupt in Lebanon
Walaw ja Justi, you can read the innermost of many people by just reading their eyes and listening to their words. Your examples are on pr with your own disappointment with Bassil. Not comparable, not even close.
