Still, one might get an impression that Obama is acting like he is The One already. Or may be he is just trying to gain some extra points to prepare for 1-on-1.

After all, this is Syria, with its famously draconian security apparatus. Could such a significant killing happen on its turf without the regime’s knowledge? Could it be that Syria is sending Mr. Obama a peace offering that precedes Mr. Brzezinsky’s visit to embarrass Mr. Bush? [...] [...] But should we totally dismiss conspiratorial thinking?

Or are you just commenting on the fact everyone is playing up Obama as the next Prez? :) I wouldn't want to make a guess. Things have a way of changing in the last few months, when the 1 on 1 debates start. You didn’t vote in the primary, leo?

Some of us actually live in the US. Some of us also like a free way of life in Lebanon, devoid of totalitarian death cultures of "Resistance". And more importantly, those of us who are Lebanese-American, at least have the choice here of expressing our views freely, without persecution, even if it means criticizing the US's current policy (which many of us do). If you don't understand the benefits of such a society, then I'd say you're well in your right to move to Iran, Syria or Saudi Arabia, and see how well you like living there.

It's classic. Maybe he'll figure out a way to sell out Mubarak and turn Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood too.
