So do Arafats' wife and kids.Syria was kicked out of Lebanon. You're right that Sa'ad's dad was asassinated 6 months after taking office. Jr's (sic)democratic election or internationally selected to replace dad, was to establish another democracy foothold in the Middle East. It's reported that at least 6 members of his cabinet are Hes'bolla.
Sa'ad is just a kid and scared to death of not only Hes'bolla and Hamas but also the U.S., Iran and his 2 1/2 sisters, Hillary and Oprah, LOL~
