His soldiers didn't do it, an allied army did. That's the issue here. If it was his troops that did the killing it would be one thing but it was not. It was the troops under a Lebanese Christian militiaman who did it. The fact that he was also working for Syria and was just assassinated by a group that claims they want Syria out of Lebanon might be interesting as well. Oh, forgot that as well. Syria has been occupying Lebanon for a while now. But they're both Arab countries so I guess it doesn't count.
