I just heard Hizbullah MP, `Ali `Ammar, attack Fu'ad Sanyurah on NBN TV and focus on Sanyurah's war on the poor people of Lebanon over the years, when he served as Rafiq Hariri's minister of finance. Of course, it is quite true that Sanyruah has been most vicious against the poor people of Lebanon. But this is my question: why didn't Hizbullah realize this before? Why did `Ammar not say that in the Lebanese parliament where he served when Sanyurah was the minister of finance. They should have spoken earlier, much earlier, at a time when criticisms of Sanyurah would not have the sectarian cast that they have today.
