$200 worth of Arabic sweets coming my way

It looks like I have won $200 worth of Arabic sweets, although all Lebanese pollsters were predicting that the opposition will win. I never underestimate how dumb the Lebanese opposition is. They lost and they deserved to lose. The speech by Hasan Nasrallah about May 7th was enough, to be topped a few days ago by a lousy speech by Na`im Qasim (a lousy speaker to boot) in which he pledged to continue importing arms into Lebanon. I am sure that he won the undecided votes with that pledge. Boo hoo Sanyurah won big in Sidon: and I was not suprised there. His rival, Usamah Sa`d ran a most lousy campaign there, and I told him that twice on the phone during the campaign--the last time only two weeks ago.
