I have a lot of nice Italian winter clothes that make me look like a sophisticated Lebanese professor so my friend Robert and I go around pretending to be experts in Arabic politics. It doesn't work in the summer though. I don't have the right clothes.

When a peace agreement is concluded between the Lebanese government and Israel we would surely disagree with the Lebanese government about that but we would not make any turmoil out of it.

God willing we shall come to a stage where the world looks at the Palestinian question and Palestinian rights on Palestinian national soil as well as the questions of the occupied Syrian and Lebanese territories. These are the bases on which peace will be built.

That U.N. Security Council resolution requires getting Syrian troops and intelligence officials out of Lebanon so that the Lebanese can have elections here this spring that are free and fair and free of outside influence.

My dad's half-Lebanese my mom is full Lebanese. I'm three-quarters Lebanese. Irish-Lebanese.
