Being sued by Lebanon's former Minister of Information

So the Hariri Minister of Information (and a former Hariri Minister of Culture), Tariq Mitri (a former leftist turned lecturer in the Janadiriyyah festival in Saudi Arabia), is suing me for...criticizing him in an article in Al-Akhbar.  Yesterday, I received official papers sent from the Lebanese Justice Ministry to the Lebanese Foreign Ministry.  The Foreign Ministry then sent it to the Lebanese Embassy in Washington, DC which sent it to the Lebanese consulate in LA.  I was amazed that the Ministry of Justice in Lebanon was able to obtain my home address and home number here in CA.  I bet then that the Justice Department of Lebanon will have no problems in apprehending the four accused of involvement in the Hariri assassination.   The Lebanese state is resurrecting itself, it seems, vis-a-vis me.  I want to point out to the court that the Lebanese government did not sue Israel for its attacks on Lebanon, but felt the need to sue me for criticisms that bothered a Lebanese intellectual, who became a Hariri intellectual.  Of course, the intellectual class that serves the Hariri and Saudi families will not utter a word in my defense.  I wondered what they will say if a Hizbullah minister, say Muhammad Fnaysh, were to sue a writer in a Hariri or Saudi newspaper.  The UN Security Council would have convened in that case, and a special investigation would have been ordered by the US government.
