I have been reporting to you the results of the Lebaense "election" before it even takes place. There are some deputies who have already won because there is nobody running against them. In South Lebanon yesterday, and after the official end of the deadline for nominations, 6 members of parliament from the South have won because they do not face any opposition. (Don't confuse them with those from the Beirut electoral districts who already have won their seats). Secretary Rice today said that the Lebanese elections may not be "perfect." Now why would she say that? I thought that the Hummus and Tabbulah Revolution solved all of Lebanon's problems.
