US policies in Lebanon well-received
Lebanese Sunnis appreciate US support for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Christians see a US convergence with the Vatican and “Orthodox Russia” and Shiites see the United States as against the Sunni fundamentalist project that came in the wake of the Arab Spring.
For the first time in many years, the US ambassador to Beirut is making a series of internal and external contacts on the Lebanese situation, without being criticized and without Washington being accused of interfering in the internal affairs of Lebanon.
It can even be said that it is perhaps the first time since the start of diplomatic relations between the United States and Lebanon that Washington loses its “ugly face.” And we can even go as far as to say that there may be a consensus, even if hidden, that Washington’s policies are positive.
Some now think that Washington has started showing its “pretty face” amid the swamp of Lebanese and regional conflicts, even if some Lebanese politicians choose not to publicly acknowledge that.
So which positions changed? Or who changed?
