Letter Never Sent
"Honey, did you mail that letter to the editor on Lebanon I wrote the other day?"
"Yes, Dear"
"Doh!"
From today's Star Tribune Letters From Readers:
Now that Hezbollah appears to be more popular in Lebanon than the U.S.-supported anti-Syrian parties, is the Bush administration still calling for democracy there?
George M****, Minneapolis.
Lebanese in Beirut for anti-Syrian protest:
A powerful turnout was key for the opposition movement, whose credibility was on the line after the Shiite Muslim guerrilla group Hezbollah last week brought out a half-million people in support of Syria and after the Lebanese government brought back pro-Syrian Prime Minister Omar Karami, whose resignation had been the opposition's most concrete accomplishment.
And by all accounts, the opposition showed its pull on the street. More than 1 million people joined the rally, according to Lebanon's leading LBC TV station and some police officials. An Associated Press estimate put the number at over 800,000.
