For people who follow Lebanese politics closely. It is amazing how important speeches and events don't get reported in the Western press. The willingness, nay desire, of the Hariri family to take the country to the brink of civil war, if not to civil war itself, has not diminished. Yesterday, mini-Hariri read a statement which said: "If they are after a confrontation, we are up for the job." Imagine such a statement in the tense and unstable atmosphere of Lebanon. In the wake of the speech, Hariri goons took to the streets and started shooting in celebration, and hit the car of Salim Huss.
