U.S. Hopes that Lebanon's Democratic Rejuvenation will be an unmitigated success for American Interests is Ill-Founded

The London Arabic newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat now published an monthly journal Qadaya 'Aalamia (Global Issues). The recent issue includes several pieces on Lebanon, including my own. You may download “Tafa’ul Ameriki ghair mubarir bi al-dimuqratiyya fi Lubnan” [American optimism for democracy in Lebanon is not justified] at my web site. Note that this is a 5MB PDF file, so if you are not on a broad band connection it will take a while.
