Hezbollah deals more damage to Bush's credibility -
May 14, 2008 - 7:18:03 AM
BEIRUT, May 14 (Reuters) - Hezbollah's humbling of Lebanon's U.S.-backed government has dealt a further blow to American credibility in the region less than a year after Hamas Islamists seized Gaza from Palestinian leaders supported by Washington. The Shi'ite Islamist group's easy military triumph over pro-government gunmen preceded this week's visit to the region by U.S. President George W. Bush, who had cast Lebanon as a success for his declared drive for democracy in the Arab world.

Druze areas in shock after deadly clashes -
May 13, 2008 - 6:43:55 AM
CHOUEIFAT: The young mother stood aghast in the apartment which reeked
of cordite, its walls blackened, windows shattered and furniture
reduced to ashes.
"We're still numb from the horror of what we went through" Sunday, said
Nada, 49, who said she had to hide under a stairwell for four hours as
firefights raged outside her home.
Sheikh Abdallah al-Khishn, a local official in the town of Choueifat,

tiny sliver of Mediterranean coast known as Lebanon that the political
dysfunction of the Middle East is truly epitomized. Beirut was a
