Minister Sharbil Nahhas
Lebanese socialist minister, Sharbil Nahhas, deserves praise--lot of praise. I have mentioned him on Facebook and I should mention him here. He is the first minister to subject Hariri budgets (since 1992) to scrutiny and criticisms. He is revealing "the disappearance" of some $ 11 billion. He has been so effective that Hariri rag, Al-Mustaqbal, has been running silly and petty items against him on a daily basis now. When the entire Lebanese opposition--especially Hizbullah--has been asleep regarding the savage capitalism of Hariri enterprise--this Minister of Communication has been awake. Too bad he is very bad on TV and does not know how to speak to the media.
