Salam Fayyad

A colleague (who does not want to be identified) sent me this (I cite with his/her permission): "My parents are here on a visit and I was talking to my father yesterday and he told me that he knows salam fayyad's father and grandfather quite well. On one occassion fayyad's father was telling my father "can you believe people are criticizing my son for taking up his post instead of praising him for serving his country?""
