Upper class Lebanese feel civilized if they listen to Opera. That explains why Rafiq Hariri paid $1 million to bring Pavarotti to Lebanon--he even gave him use of his private jet. Upper class Lebanese who listened to him felt very civilized that night. Walid Jumblat always feels civilized. Yesterday, he said that the message to Syria is for Syria to become "civilized." He added that he felt very civilized when he orchestrated sectarian war crimes in Beirut and in the mountain during the war.
