It's time to engage in diplomatic efforts to help build a new Lebanese consensus that focuses on electoral reform, an end to the current corrupt patronage system, and the development of the economy that provides for a fair distribution of services, opportunities and employment. Which prompted this response...
Via Beirut to the Beltway: Oh the time we wasted by fighting Hizbullah all those years with rockets, invasions of their homes and shutting down their media outlets.
