Lebanon never of course won a Nobel prize in anything--not even for achievements in internal killings and strife. Yet, this Hariri Now website, posts an article titled: "Tracing Lebanon’s history with the Nobel Prizes." This is like writing an article titled "Tracing As`ad AbuKhalil's history with the academy awards." And then Tom James, a writer for Hariri Now, tells the readers that: "Yet, as so often, the Lebanese reach is greater than the country’s diminutive size might suggest. The Lebanese and the Lebanese emigrant population have quietly scaled the global heights of arts, finance and the intellectual world. This is also true of science - the man considered by many to be the world’s greatest living chemist, Elias James Corey, is in fact a Lebanese emigrant." And Tom James, while under the same bizarre influence that led him to write what has been quoted above, concludes: "As the achievements of both the emigrant population and those still living here clearly shows, Lebanon has the most fantastic potential to re-establish itself as regional center for all that Alfred Nobel chose to reward."
