When I asked a friend about May Al-Rihani, who has presented her candidacy for the Presidency of the Lebanese Republic, he intuitively replied that if she had inherited the qualities of her paternal uncle Amin Al-Rihani, he would be delighted to see her ascend to this position after the political leadership in this country hit rock bottom. Amin Al-Rihani was a thinker, writer, philosopher, and reformer who roamed the Arab world to familiarize himself with its kings and leaders and write about them. His sole objective was to bring them closer to one another.
