What about Lebanon, Mr. President?
Iranian-backed Hezbollah has been busy re-arming its military and thinning the ranks of its heavily Christian, democratically inclined opposition through murder and coercion. Now they have precipitated the collapse of the Lebanese government over the international investigation of the 2005 murder of former prime minister Rafik Hariri, an investigation which they believe (rightly, it seems) will implicate Hezbollah, and perhaps their Syrian and Iranian enablers.
...the failure to mention Lebanon and stand with them was an unfortunate lacuna.http://www.catholicvote.org/discuss/index.php
In the picture (from Reuters) Pope Benedict XVI (C) receives Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri (2nd L) [ son of the murdered Rafik Hariri ] and Hariri's family for an audience in his private apartment at the Vatican February 20, 2010. Hariri's family members are: sons Hussam (L), Rafik junior (2nd R), daughter Lulwa (R), and wife Lara Azm.

I was so fortunate to grow up in a town with a Large Catholic Lebanese population.
St. Raymonds Parish at lunch time on Wednesdays was a treat.
Talk about the Food! Wonderful! Grape leaves wraping tasty bits of rice and meat...
Prayers for our Brothers and Sisters in Lebanon.
Oh, grape leaves... Now I feel a urge of eating them. This is one of my favorites, together with hummus and falafel.
