Obama on Lebanon
This actually made me optimistic because it shows that
- Obama pays at least a small amount of attention to this
- He's willing to actually take a somewhat intelligent stance on lebanon
- He thinks he's able to take such a stance
- Brooks, a barometer of the "reasonable" conservatives, is willing and able to take the above seriously and admire it

How is Hezbollah not a legitimate political force? They may have arms only because of Syria and Iran, but they have overwhelming support in Southern Lebanon and elected representatives in the parliament. I guess only someone from Chomskyland would point out that it is odd for an American politician who claims to support democracy would say that a democratically popular party as Hezbollah undoubtedly is has not legitimacy whatsoever.
