Meanwhile, To Understand the Anger Felt By Some Westernized Arabs Over the War in Lebanon...

...I go to Rambling Hal's site. You might want to do the same thing. Even if you don't agree with her--and chances are very good that you won't, it's informative to read what she has to say. This is the perspective of a young, educated, cosmopolitan, professional woman in Jordan. Hal often rails against the oppressive attitudes and policies of her own and other predominantly Islamic countries. But she is furious with Israel's strategy in Lebanon. Be warned: Hal's language can sometimes be coarse.
