Ramzy Baroud The media reports pertaining to Lebanon classify every Lebanese political figure as ?pro? or ?anti? Syrian. The assassination of Lebanese politician Antoine Ghanem on September 19 is likely to be used, predictably, to further US and Israeli interests in the region.

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO REALIZE GOD.-- Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): For only such possess all powers, faculties and gifts -- yet they possess nothing. Possessions are burdens which impede progress; possessions are blocks which prevent the free flow of energy, hindering the electricity of life from flowing freely through the veins of nature. There can be no pretense here, neither the desire to give nor to receive. Freedom is ... Read More

Karim Makdisi Where Justice Seems Very Far Away The summer break is officially over in Lebanon. At about 5pm yesterday, a roughly 40 kg bomb placed in a Mercedes was detonated in a bustling part of Sin el-Fil district of Beirut. The immediate target was member of Parliament (MP) Antoine Ghanim of the right-wing Phalange party and pro-government March 14 coalition, the fourth MP to be assassinated since former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri's murder in March 2005 split the country and paralyzed the state.
