		<description><![CDATA[Its become fashionable to mock and disparage Iran&#8217;s and Venezuela&#8217;s leaders and any other country that defies US hegemony. Iran has every right to defend itself against US and Israeli aggression. Iran has never invaded another country. The US on the other hand, well, we lost count. As for Israel, the US is intent on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=718&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an interview on Al-Arabiya yesterday, Jumblatt talked about the Hariri murder and the international tribunal. While he tried to convince us that Israel is the likely murderer and that he was wrong before when he accused Syria, he said some things that made it clear that he did not really believe what he was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=712&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The March 8 camp led by Hezbollah has declared all out war on the international tribunal. The Syrians have now weighed in with their two bits by issuing arrest warrants (??) for 33 Lebanese and other nationals. Aoun and Hezbollah and their supporters have all nodded their heads in approval; now it seems they all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=708&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We often hear that the greatest &#8220;value of Lebanon is in being the land of coexistence of Muslims and Christians&#8221;. This time the words were spoken by the Maronite cleric Boulos Matar. Though I am sure his intentions are the best, I have to object to this position. I personally find the greatest value of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=700&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Well, there more of this kind of attitude we get there more we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=698&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lebanon&#8217;s recent reaction to the border intrusion, while it seems non-sensical, may actually have had some logic besides pure evil as some would have it. This particular part of the border is in dispute, meaning that while the UN demarcated it as on &#8220;Israel&#8217;s side&#8221; this was not a recognition of its permanent status but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=697&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The material presented seemed overwhelming to interpret for most of us. Though I suspected there would not be anything very convincing in the evidence, I was open to being shown otherwise. According to Time, the the main [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=696&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting article on preserving our mother tongue in Lebanon. I am not very optimistic about the government&#8217;s campaign to preserve the language. So long there is a perception of prestige to speak English or French there is no hope. Its in the home things need to change and nowhere else.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4519104&amp;post=694&amp;subd=lebreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
