Many of the problems of today’s Middle East stem from one act – the 2005
assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri. But it
wasn’t the assassination itself which
caused these problems, but the blame game afterwards. A charade is still
being played out which is designed to detract attention from the real
issues – and like most such charades, it is also designed to prevent
those who know about the real issues having any voice, because what they
have to say is too unpleasant for the people that matter to hear.
