Lisa, In case you've missed it, a few of the Lebanese blogs have been pretty much lambasting the Daily Star lately. It's actually a recurring event. The Daily Star is pretty much entertaining toilet paper (for the most part). Neither Rami Khouri nor his newspaper are representative of the Lebanese reality. If only Gebran, Samir and all our real 'stars' were still with us.... Thank you for posting this. I think we need to make a lot more noise on this issue. Shit, now I'm pissed.
