"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.”

US Senate Majority Leader Bill Frisk (Republican-Najjaf) took new Iraqi President Ghazi Al Yawar (Shiite*-Washington) to the Rotunda of the Capitol Building where former US President Ronald Reagan lies in state.
Presumably to show him what is a rare and bizarre phenomenon in the Arab world – a leader dead of natural causes.
*Sects are the Arab equivalent of political parties.
All eyes are on June 30th for what CNN calls "The Handover".
Yeah right!
Hand over fist more like it - on that day, America will slough off its military liability and concentrate on making money in Iraq hand over fist.
Iraq's will be left to hand over the profits from their resources to absentee landlords.
