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."
