The assassination of Pierre Gemayel - -

By Mario Loyola



The Assassination of Pierre Gemayel
Democracy suffers another blow in Lebanon — and its democrats are partly to blame.

By Mario Loyola

After his son was shot pointblank Tuesday in Beirut, former Lebanese President Amin Gemayel called on his countrymen “to contemplate the meaning of this martyrdom and how to protect this country.” But it is precisely the “meaning” of this tragedy — the fifth major political assassination there in less than two years — which will continue to elude the people of Lebanon, most crucially the very people fighting for democracy.
