what a surprising result, lebenan continues the confessional system!! This is my favorite part:
“That the Lebanese people elected a Christian as President shows that they are open to cooperation with the West,” said Thomas Friedman, a columnist still tolerated by the New York Times.

I am glad that the NYT has writers that do not know the government systems that they are writing about. It would be like: breaking news, the United States makes a leap towards egalitarianism by electing a president and not a Monarch!!

Freidman is an idiot and i think the NYT should consider employing a certain recent Berkeley graduate.

Odd — this post wasn’t by me. To Joe-2: there’s another regular poster here already using the same name, you might want to switch or things will get confusing quickly.

For instance, I argue that Hezbollah is illegitimate because it’s only interested in democracy as a means to an end, and that its ultimate end is the destruction of the secular-liberal principles which make Lebanon worthy as a country.

Yaman has 3 thumbs up, and everyone who said Yaman was funny has at least one thumbs up. I call bullshit.

It's funny to make fun of the closest thing to actual democracy that exists in the Arab world, outside of Iraq? I agree the government in Lebanon is pretty pathetic, but *funny*? Nope.
