"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

The purpose of US Secretary of State Colin Powell's upcoming visit to Sudan is, according to press reports, "to highlight the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding there". What's he going to do? Go over there and physically point to it and say "yesiree bob, that there is a genyouwine youmanitarian catastrophe unfolding there, make no mistake about it"? Or maybe he can get a giant yellow highlighter pen and highlight it that way. We know what it is! We now need to do something about it!
What’s there to fight for in Sudan anyway? Sand? Just like those POLISARIO dudes in Western Sahara claiming that one patch of sand is different from another patch of sand and that they should thus be given sand independence.Why cant’ they all just get along and play together nicely in the sandpit?
