...woman and a Christian, I greatly enjoyed your story. Anyone familiar with helping the poor and desperate through missionary or NGO work, knows that, if done alone, it can take a lot out of you, physically and mentally. To read both about Mother Teresa's doubt and fears, as well as her total commitment, was truly inspiring. Lee Ying, Singapore...

U.S. officials publicly maintain a neutral stance, saying only that the election should be held on time and without foreign meddling, a reference to Syria. But there is little doubt that Washington prefers a President who will continue to uphold Lebanon's independence from Syria and will seek to implement U.N. resolutions calling for the disarming of Hizballah, regarded by the U.S. as a terrorist organization. On the other hand, Syria, and its ally Iran, seem to be angling...
