Fisk, at this finest, describes a recent dinner party in Labanon where death stalks the streets outside whilst the endangered species of Lebanese politicians live every day like it's the last. It Makes me look over my shoulder just reading it.
"Yet at this little dinner party in Beirut, I could not help thinking of all our smug statesmen, the Browns and the Straws and the Sarkozys and the imperious Kouchners and Merkels and their equally smug belief that they are fighting a "war on terror" – do we still believe that, by the way? – and reflect that here in Beirut there are intellectual men and women who could run away to London or Paris if they chose, but prefer to stick it out, waiting to die for their democracy in a country smaller than Yorkshire. I don't think our Western statesmen are of this calibre."
They never believed they were fighting a war on terror. That was just the cover story for voters.
It was a rhetorical question , me thinks Miriam.
What Fisk Doesn't get about Lebanon, aint gettable.
When he claims to meet Lebanese Politicans who dont understand the Political System they work within, I believe him. The only thing he probably doesnt get in his writings is that the unwashed are often struggling to keep up with his over familiar conversational tone.
But he is a genius and should be forgiven.
There's a good entry in wikipedia
