By El-Murr's logic, the MIGs were too expensive to operate so Lebanon asked for the gift to be replaced with cheaper and easier to operate helicopters. Now I'm not sure if those ever made it to Beirut, but that's not the issue. The defense strategy and military logic of the minister sees it is appropriate to cut corners and equip the army with what's cheaper rather than what is necessary. Why stop at helicopters, I hear tricycles are even easier to operate. Seriously though, wouldn't it have been beautiful had El-Murr uttered these words as Minister of Finance? All that lady ever says is tax.
El-Murr was offended by Olleik's article and felt he was wronged. So he applied the same logic. Why opt for the lengthy, complicated, and expensive legal defense, when you can go for the easier and cheaper tactic of bullying.
What can you say? The man is consistent.

Hello,
I am currently involved with a project focusing on an electronic magazine on the middle-eastern political and social and economical issues. The idea is to gather the analysis of experts and ordinary people beside one another on crucial issues and create a resource where less known, passionate critical thinkers can express variety of opinions on the issues related to this region. Thus, although we have an analytical focus, we are seeking an objective approach enabling the free expression of different opinions.
Hence, I would like to invite you to join us as either a guest write or a permanent member and share with us our knowledge and opinions. Please contact me at rhmonshi@gmail.com if you are interested as soon as possible so we can discuss the details.
Sincerely,
Ramtin
