The new Walid Jumblat

"Jumblatt expresses gratitude that Syria re-established order at the end of the Lebanese civil war and suggests that Syria's military may need to take over the country again if Hezbollah is indicted by an international tribunal investigating the killing of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri and the country deteriorates into sectarian strife.  "It seems that, well, we cannot govern ourselves by ourselves," Jumblatt said. "Lebanon is not a nation. It's a bunch of tribes."
