		Jumblatt, 55, says Hariri's death was the work of Syrian and Lebanese intelligence agents, an accusation their governments have denied.

		Kamal Jumblatt, a prominent left-wing political leader opposed to Syrian military intervention, was gunned down in 1977 on the winding mountain road from the coast to Mukhtara, in the Chouf Mountains.

		Jumblatt's political inheritance was shaky from the start, as he lacked the political stature, experience, and charisma of his late father.
		Jumblatt, however, was unwilling to dispense with the newfound popularity among the population at large that came with his public criticism of Syria.
		Jumblatt told reporters that he would "rather not discuss" the matter, while carefully noting that he did not mind if Syrian forces deployed in the Shouf for "strategic purposes." However, news of the deployment caused an uproar during a parliamentary session devoted to budgetary matters.

		Jumblatt, a close ally of Prime Minister Hariri, has been dismissive of reports the prince was eying Hariri's job, and Alwaleed's statement criticizing the government have ruffled some feathers in Beirut.
		Jumblatt, in contrast, has been shooting his mouth off against Saudi Arabia and its royal family without any restraint since the start of the war on Iraq, he noted.
		Moreover, Alwaleed charged, Jumblatt was using the same tactics he used in the 2000 Lebanese parliamentary elections, when he built up solid popularity among Christian voters in Mount Lebanon with statements opposing Syria's policy in Lebanon, then jumped back into Damascus' lap after his victory at the polls.

		Kamal Jumblatt started his political life as an ally to Emil Edde, who was marked as an isolationist and a Maronite radical.
		Furthermore, Kamal Jumblatt combined directions and tendencies that are hard to find in one person, from Hinduism to Islam and Christianity, from democratic liberalism to socialist democracy, and from sophist inclinations to Durzi Monotheism.
		In this regard, pushing Jumblatt away or failing to convince him to spearhead the opposition, is a very dangerous thing as it indicates the resurrection of a project that is at least monopolistic if not retaliatory and monopolistic.

	WORLD ENCYCLOPAEDIA - Lebanon - Progressive Socialist Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Jumblatt appealed to Druzes because of his position as zaim, to other Muslims who were disenchanted with the traditional political system, and to members of some other sects who were attracted by his secular and progressive rhetoric.
		By the 1970s, this tendency was unmistakably Druze; this point was demonstrated in 1977 when, after Kamal Jumblatt was assassinated (perhaps by pro-Syrian Agents), his son, Walid, assumed the party leadership, continuing Druze control of the party.
		Moreover, from 1960 to 1964, when Jumblatt and Pierre Jumayyil served in the same cabinet, they spent much of their time vilifying each other in their respective party newspapers; then in 1968 Jumblatt allied with Jumayyil and Raymond Iddi (also seen as Edde) in the so-called Triple Alliance.

		Educated at the American University of Beirut and in France, Jumblatt, 55, is a cosmopolitan man -- a one-time motorcycle-riding playboy who became a socialist, a member of parliament and the leader of the Druze, one of Lebanon's key minority groups.
		Jumblatt's father, Kamal, was assassinated in 1977 during the early years of Lebanon's civil war, and everyone assumes the Syrians were responsible for that murder too.
		Like Jumblatt, they are pleased that the Syrians have left their country, but they have fears and concerns about Hezbollah, about the economy, about falling off the precipice into another civil war.

		Jumblatt's rejection of the Constitutional Document was a slap in the face for Assad and had very negative effects on Syria's prestige in the region.
