In the midst of the terrible bus bombings that took place this week in Lebanon, the country remembers its former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri assassinated two years ago, along with 21 other people, after the detonation of 1000 kgs of TNT.
His murder is still under investigation by the UN. Syrian authorities are widely suspected, a bunch of feuds opposed Hariri to Members of the Syrian government (that is when the world thought that the US would launch a military action against Syria).
Hariri was a wealthy entrepreneur who built everyhting by himself, and did not hesitate to use his personal forune to help rebuild his country.
Since his death, Lebanon's situation have considerably worsened, from the growin Hezbollah's influence, mitigated by the facts that as Hariri said, the presence of Hezbollah in Lebanon has more than once been one of the only obstacles to an invasion of Lebanon by Israel. As for the assassination of Rabin in 1995, it is always the " good guys" (in the sense of those that try to progress towards Peace) that the world makes disappear first.
