Question:

Can you help poor Vikram in answering Vetal?If you had the power to rewrite the rules in Lebanon what would you do?

Answer:

As per Abraham Lincoln, democracy is a government “of the people by the people and for the people”. But it doesn’t mean to make a situation that can cause disturbances and blood sheds in the society. It is based on “live and let live”. So if there is an agreement among different communities to the country on the basis of fixed power sharing among them, it is right. There is no need to rewrite the rule.
