"Lebanon has been locked in a political stalemate that has all but frozen the country's ability to effectively govern its diverse population."

"I'd like to talk about the end of the Syrian conflict in light of the news reports just today, it's impossible right now to imagine."

"I think I worry that with the withdrawal--the apparent withdrawal of Saudi Arabia from Lebanon--I hope this is just a monetary thing."

"My biggest fear, for all that we've accomplished in Lebanon, is that Hezbollah drags Lebanon and Israel into another war."
