What is this new role for Talal Arsalan? Does Hizbullah (which is propping him up) think that he represents Druze public opinion? His credibility among the Druzes is equal to the credibility of Ahmad Al-As`ad among Shi`ites--OK, a bit more but still. Clearly, Walid Jumblat still enjoys the support of 90% (of the 5 % of the Lebanese population).
