People think that I am harsh on the Lebanese sometimes. Not true. I am willing to praise the Lebanese when necessary. I will be the first to acknowledge that Lebanese journalists (with few exceptions) are the best and most skilled in prostrating themselves before House of Saud and their affiliates. Here, a Lebanese columnist describes a a recent column by `Abdur-Rahman Ar-Rashid (the former editor-in-chief of Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, where this writer works) as a "piece of political literature." If Rashid writes "political literature", Mr. Bush speaks pearls of wisdom.
