...strategy to deal with the crisis has had a debilitating effect on the country’s national dialogue: issuing warnings against Hezbollah, condemning those who associate with them, and abstaining from involving itself in any solution. It does not take a Middle East expert to realize that this policy??the mirror image of how Syria and Iran are pushing Hezbollah to demonize their rivals—is not a strategy of reconciliation...
...logistics were not the only problem.

...costs are so high as to justify a 15 percent deduction from student group gift accounts, and student groups certainly deserve more than a curt letter that fails to provide important details.We hope that the University will respect the intentions of those donors who contributed prior to the new policy??s implementation by exempting those funds from the duty. And we urge the University to offer student groups a prompt explanation for the new tax. Only then can students determine whether the tax is justified; without an explanation, it’s just not fair...
