Benefits of the year...

I been real upset about the all the latest occurances in the Lebanese political arena but someone told me to look at the bright side. The list below is some of the benefits I found, can you think of more?

1. We all had something to discuss during social gatherings.
2. All Arab nationals turned into experts of Lebanese politics.
3. The Lebanese daily news turned into a Mexican soap opera.
4. Lebanese news ratings soared since more people tuned into the mexican soap opera.
5. Lebanese comedians had more content to work on.
6. Patriotic and comedic songs were created regarding the matter.
7. Lebanese politicians were able to enjoy meals at Centre Ville's finest restaurants when they were "abandoned."

Update:

8. Various cool and colorful scarves have been created for the occasion.*
9. Lebanese were able to show-off their marketing and pr techniques.
