Aounism

Being an "aounist" used to mean something in the 1990s. An "aounist" liked to think of himself as someone patriotic, someone who is against foreign intervention and also someone who opposes secterianism just like the general Aound did.
What does it mean to be "aounist" today ? It is clearly nothing more than being a follower of Aoun, the man who used to have well defined principles while trying to acheive some not-so-well-defined objectives and became today the leader who has one clear objective ( presidency ) but ill-defined principles.
