Lebanon's motto should be: if you can't win awards, just make them up. Lebanese are desperate for awards and recognition. This is from the Daily (neo-conservative) Star in Beirut: "Artist wins gold medal for Lebanon in Bejjing Olympic Games: A painting by Lebanese artist Lina Kilikian won the gold medal at an international exhibition of art in China preceding and accompanying the 2008 Olympic Games opening on Friday in Beijing."
