...Lebanon's leading pro-Western liberal daily newspaper, the Daily Star, to enthuse in an editorial that "Hizballah is not a problem - it is part of Lebanon's solution." The question, however, is whether the U.S. and other outside parties that have taken up the Lebanon issue will concur...

And many Europeans concur with Chirac and Zapatero that the E.U. should become a counterweight to America. In the U.S. German Marshall Fund's Transatlantic Trends survey, conducted in June, 71% of Europeans polled said the E.U. should become a superpower like the U.S. But almost two-thirds of them wanted...
