The good news is that the Christian community did not back the selfish and egotistical Aoun. The best hope for Lebanon is a stable coalition of Sunnis and Christians to push back against Hezbollah. This should be the focus of U.S, Lebanon policy.

"President Barack Obama can flash a smile when he thinks of Lebanon today???which is something no American president has been able to do for a long, long time."
What? The March 14th coalition did better under Bush than they did the other day. Do they have any editors left at Newsweek or are they solely staffed by propagandists now?
