    This is one of my favorite clips I have seen in a while. Two Lebanese politicians almost start a fist fight over the crisis in Syria and over it's "President" Assad.

    Personally I love it when he grabs the chair, and how the other dude runs over to him and continues advancing on him calling him something, I assume its a dirty word.

    Edit: I also love their hand gestures during the argument. People don't ever use hand gestures like that here.

    That is hilarious.

    Now that I've seen the structure of Lebansese government I raise an oppinion of the current president.
    I don't think he's a good leader, if he can't control his fellow politicians than how can he control his country?
    Wait... How can he? Oh my God! We need to invade Lebanon now! Or else there will be violence in the streets! Hundreds of thousands dead! We need to replace him with a new leader.
    I'd volunteer for his job, put me in! I'm ready for it!

    You have my full support. Once we have taken the country I shall be your ambassadeur in Sweden.

    Ahh... reminds me of a pic I saw in a Chinese newspaper a few years back. In it a North Korean ambassador was fighting it out with a South Korean ambassador. The reporter caught a pic of their fists just about to hit each others' faces.
    Ahh... diplomacy between sibilings...

    Ah, fighting politicians... It's always fun to watch. Especially because it's just adult men acting like children. And you never see that in western European countries.

    No, we don't.

    There are men who act like children, and are politicians, but not like the video above, mostly because there are no opposing parties.

    From 2007 in the Alabama Senate.



    I think the best fights in legislatures goes to the Ukrainians, Taiwanese and South Koreans. Those turn into near riots.
