Arab (Saudi Wahhabi) liberals have a new ploy: those who criticize them become immediately involved in the assassination of Rafiq Hariri, or in other assassinations. See this article against Azmi Bisharah in Al-Hayat. (By the way, there were more than 130 assassinations in Bulgaria since 2001--almost ten times the number of assassinations in Lebanon. Yet, we don't hear about that, and the UN Security Council does not hold special meetings about that. Why is that? Don't the victims of assassination in Bulgaria own private jets and homes in Spain?
