If you want news, read BBC. If you want biased infotainment, watch CNN. www.bbc.co.uk

After reading Tom Friedman's From Beirut to Jerusalem this spring, I can't help but feel sorry for the Lebanese civilians. They've been getting screwed by everyone (including Lebanese militias) for decades. Hopefully everything calms down soon. And hopefully the United States stays out of it.
