WSJ on mini-Hariri

"Despite the skirmish, the elevation of Mr. Hariri, the 39-year-old billionaire son of the late former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, marks what many analysts say could be a fresh, hopeful chapter in Lebanon's recent, tumultuous politics." Yes, nothing to send a hopeful signal to Lebanon than the designation of incompetent, half-illiterate (who only managed to receive admissions at schools thanks to his father's financial contributions including to Georgetown Universtiy which like all private schools in the US has a weakness for the money of billionaires), bumbling, boring person who is under the tight control of Prince Muqrin bin `Abdul-`Aziz. But then again: the fact that this man spends all his day (and part of the night) playing X-Box should really set the Lebanese house in order.
