Jumblat and Hizbullah

Something about Hizbullah's honeymoon with Jumblat really disgusts me. You can't argue that any faction in Lebanon is principled: not on the left or right, and not the fundamentalists or the secularists. Don't pin your hopes on any leader or faction in Lebanon: they will all disappoint you and betray your ideals. But Jumblat must be amused: he praises Hizbullah by day, and sends Kifrayya wine cases to Elliott Abrams by night.
