This is the prime argument of the anti-Syrian camp, which includes Sunni Muslims led by Saad Hariri, bent on avenging his father; Walid Jumblatt, leader of the Druze community, who has come out stridently against Syria's President Bashar Al-Assad; and, Gemayel's own Phalanges libanaises--all partners in the "14 March movement" formed after Hariri's murder.
