This letter by the US ambassador in Lebanon proves that his role in Lebanon is no different from that of Paul Bremer in Iraq. Can you imagine the Lebanese ambassador in the US, writing a letter to a Lebanese newspaper offering opinions on how one party is better than the other in an American by-election? But I don't blame the arrogance of Feltman on him alone; I blame it on those who in the past dragged the Syrian regime into Lebanese affairs, and now beg an intervention by the US. (thanks Elizabeth)
