He claims that he intends to cast a wide net in the formation of the government. We can hope.

The sad part of the story is that no matter what kind of government Tunisia ends up with, the fact is that the old non-Islamist government collapsed as a result of a political assassination. In that sense, from the point of view of the assassin, it worked. That reality will do nothing but invite similarly minded people to try the same tactic again, in Tunisia or elsewhere.
