Book review in the Guardian

From Yago:  "Concerning the deteriorating coverage of the Gaurdian of the Middle East I came across this book review where the author writes "The birth pangs of a new Middle East"  , is how Condoleezza Rice, former President George W Bush's secretary of state, described Lebanon's "Cedar Revolution" of 2006 (2005? and wasn't she talking about Israel's bombing and invasion of Lebanon that year); she spoke too hopefully, and too soon." I know that a grasp of basic facts doesn't discount you from being an authority on the Middle East in Western media but really."
