The Petty Lebanonese Mind

The widow of Sen. Kennedy (who--truth be told--spent a lifetime endorsing every Israeli war, aggression, torture, invasion, occupation, and assassinations) os of Lebanese extraction. But like most Lebanese in the US, she never ever mention her ethnic background and she of course never noticed that Lebanon has been repeatedly occupied and invaded and bombed by Israel. But in Lebanon, they assume that those former Lebanese are so proud of Lebanon. Here, the owner of L'Orient sends his condolences to Mrs. Kennedy. Like she knows who he is. (thanks Ibn Rushd)
