The Wizard of Beirut. Lebanese and Middle-Eastern Political and Historical Developments. Tuesday, November 21, 2006. 160; A voice in the wilderness, perhaps, but we cannot accept, let alone condone the so-called new vision of President Bush for the Middle East. A nightmare is a more adequate word. And God only knows what further destruction he will heap upon the world before his tenure of office is over. He's definitely guilty as charged. Ivan G. Goldman.

The Wizard of Beirut. Lebanese and Middle-Eastern Political and Historical Developments. Thursday, September 28, 2006.
