Jumblatt decries "tyrants, dictators" in Mid East |
2001-12-23 |
Hmmm. No mention of fighting jihad and standing up for "Arab Dignity." Perhaps the appeal of the fundos has peaked with the disappearance of Osama and the discrediting of rule by mullah. (The Druze are far outside the Wahhabi puritan strain, so probably that's wishful thinking.) But also no mention of instituting the concept of personal liberty, which would be necessary to make the rest of it happen. Still, not bad. Perhaps in time... No one in the Arab world will listen to him, of course, or if they do, someone will shoot him. |
