Quote: But, May 7, the movement of sympathy that united (...) well beyond the Shiites, many Lebanese Christians, Druze and Sunni Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's patron, has been shattered. This charismatic little man, wizard of words, was credited with having driven the Israelis from southern Lebanon in 2000. (...) It was almost a hero to the country of the Cedar, and in many Arab countries. (...) In one week, Hassan Nasrallah, the Shiite leader of 47 years, still wearing the black turban of Seyyed, the descendants of the Prophet, has evolved into gravedigger of the fragile unity of Lebanon.
