Lebanese Leader Murdered

I know I'm a day late on this, but I've been criticized for my approach to the Middle East in the past and figured this would be an issue to mull prior to posting.

I am deeply saddened by the murder of Lebanese cabinet minister Pierre Gemayal. This man had the potential to be the future of a peaceful Lebanon. His anti-Syrian attitute was never hidden from the world and his want for peace with the United States and Israel was truly one of his greatest qualities. He will undoubtedly be missed among those advocating for peace in the Middle East.
