while i don't know much about Kuwait...Is the fact that Lebannon WAS part of Syria enough to justify an invasion of Lebannon by Syria NOW ?Apparently Lebanese (sp?) folks have their own national identity now...their own culture and all that.And the article was saying that Lebannon used to be a very panarabist country... well at least the intellectuals were.probably a case of an ideology loosing its appeal because some mofos (Syrian governement) used that ideology to justify other actions.______________________________*TWINNING*
