Sigh
"Anybody who has been blathering about the growing clout of Arab liberals or the spread of a free-market civil society in the Middle East must confront the iron fact of Hariri's murder. He was the Middle East's single most persistent and energetic advocate for civil society, for unrestrained media, for business-based solutions to the Levantine dilemma, and for a free, capitalist, forward-looking Arab world."
"His death is a tragedy for Lebanon, and a horror for anybody still foolish enough to be an optimist about the Middle East."
