Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Tuesday rejected a call by the Hizbullah-led opposition for adoption of a 1960 election law. Sfeir, talking to a delegation from the newspaper editors' syndicate, said the 1960 election law "is no longer sound … a county constituency leads to better representation." He cautioned that "Lebanon is not immune, its borders are loose and its citizens are split … everything is possible." He noted that the USS Cole guided missile destroyer is "not sailing in Lebanese territorial waters. Super powers act in line with their interests. The Americans had been here before and you know what was the outcome. We don't want to repeat miseries." Lebanon should be represented at the forthcoming Arab Summit by "a president. This is the rule. Let them elect a president to represent Lebanon," Sfeir concluded.
