I couldn’t help but smile when reading this story about a Lebanese man who barged into Latino politics in the American community of Bell in California
“Buenas tardes,” he would say as residents cracked open their doors, handing them a flier. Like his father and others in the Lebanese community, he learned Spanish assisting customers and instructing employees in the clothing stores and warehouses. Saleh was running on a campaign of public safety, fiscal prudence and quality-of-life issues like clean, safe parks and untangling traffic congestion.
No matter where they are, those pesky Lebanese just can’t leave politics alone can they?
Hello, my name is Mustapha and I've been blogging about Lebanese society, business and politics since February 2005.
