American Press and Middle East Analysis

There is such ignorance about the Middle East in the US press that you can get away with saying anything--provided it fits the ideological biases and preferences of the US government. Look at this: "At the same time, Hezbollah's position is challenged by a rival Shiite leader -- the centrist former speaker of the parliament, Hussein al-Husseini." This seventy-year old man can't challenge a toddler in Lebanon. (thanks Nir)
