so is Lebanon one of them?
Not likely. But it is interesting that his allies lost again...this time in Lebanon.

Maybe Obambi's stupidity is starting to backfire. Oh yes. I can wait til 2010.

President Obama offered a statement on Lebanon's elections this morning, praising their peaceful handling and voicing U.S. support for a sovereign, stable, and peaceful Lebanon.
He did not, however, comment on the results.
Obama instead praised the democratic process in general, and he refrained from offering any congratulations to the U.S.-backed March 14 coalition on its victory over Hezbollah--perhaps looking to signal that democratic principles are more important to him than political parties, and perhaps, also, indicating a consciousness of accusations that the U.S. meddles in Middle East politics. (A visit to Lebanon by Vice President Joe Biden in May was specifically criticized as an attempt to intervene in yesterday's elections.)
