HOW HARIRI WON IN BEIRUT

Look at where the Muslim strength is: 181,678 Sunnites.... while it's true that the Christians are 171,316... but, do you see the problem like I do? Armenian, Greek Orthodox, Syriac, Latin, Maronite, Protestant, Caldian, Assyrians, Adventist, make up the Christian SOUP... how can you unite all those denominational Christians?

More...... why does Beirut get one Druze (Aridi) if Druze counts for only a miserable 5,073 votes...explain that to me?

Also a Shiites in Beirut (Ghazi Yusuf) ... 57,029 will definitely give Mr. Hariri the advantage.
