Walid Jumblat has been saying that his camp (the March 14th movement) stands for "life, enlightenment, joy, and prosperity." Oh, yeah. So true. When Jumblat's militia ran Beirut in the 1980s, they imposed the rule of joy and enlightenment. So much so, that Beiruti Sunni families sent delegations to Damascus to beg Hafidh Al-Asad to send his troops into the city. Also, the patron--or one of them--of the March 14th Movement is Wahhabi Saudi Arabia--a country renowned for joy and happiness. Oh, yeah.
