Is Bush on the Road to Damascus now?
Flyntt Leverett of the Brookings Institution writes in the NYTimes today:
"For starters, any effort to engineer a pro-Western Lebanese government would be resisted by Hezbollah, the largest party in Lebanon's Parliament, which because of its record of fighting Israel is at least as legitimate in Lebanese eyes as the anti-Syrian opposition. In the face of such resistance, efforts to establish a pro-Western government would fail, creating more instability in the region when the United States can ill afford it."
Amen! But does this White House have any known contacts with reality now?
