Those invitations for the demo tomorrow in Beirut keep coming, even though I hit the "Unsubscribe" link. This time I went to their website and posted a reply, calling to their attention the weakness of their arguement, and urging them to go demonstrate at the Iraqi Embassy instead, since this is all Saddam's fault! We'll see what happens tomorrow... my fear is that people here in Kuwait might take offense at a small fringe group's actions, which might poison the long-standing love affair between Kuwait and Lebanon. After all, when Iraq invaded in 1990 Lebanon was the first Arab country to condemn the invasion within hours - while the other Arab countries sat on their hands for 3 days deciding on an official position!
