Ibrahim Hamidi, writing in al-Hayat, reviews the politics of Syrian, French and American negotiations over the presidency in Lebanon. France offered Syria serious incentives to get Michel Suleiman confirmed as President of Lebanon. In the end, however, Syria could not order the Lebanese to comply with French demands. Indeed, Syria has no incentive to do so, even for French money and promises that other European powers would drop the isolation of Syria. <\/div>\n
Hamidi explains how each of the three sides had different interests and acted at cross purposes arriving at the stalemate that they now find themselves in. <\/div>\n
