What is amazing about Lebanonese advocates is that they are the worst violators of their own slogans, without them even noticing. Take the issue of "sovereignty." Those who shout the loudest in Lebanon about the need for "sovereignty" are the most willing to compromise sovereignty for petty sectarian interests. The other day, I heard a Daily [Neo-Conservative] Star reporter, Majdoline Hatoum, ask Larsen during his press conference in Beirut a question on whether the "international community"--how much I hate this silly term--will help Lebanon in disarming the Palestinians in Lebanon. Ms. Hatoum, do you want the "international community" to also beat up your Sri Lankan maid for you too? Please let them know.
