Ghassan Bin Jiddu (Beirut bureau chief) is going too far in his analysis of Pierre Gemayyel. He described him as "symbol of the youth" among Lebanese Christians. Not true. Jubran Twuayni was (until his alliance with Sa`d Hariri0--and Hariri family is despised by Lebanese Christians) but not Pierre. He really had no standing as much as his daddy wanted to make him a leader. I have to stop writing and get ready to fly back to CA now.
