US Support to Re-Build Lebanon

After seeing Hizoballah passing out US currency to folks whose homes were destroyed by the Israeli attacks, I have to admit that I felt like we (the west) were loosing the hearts and minds of people in the region.

Today, I came across this State Department report that had me do a complete 180. President Bush has assembled 4 CEOs of prominent companies to tour Lebanon and make a recommendation to him personally about how the US can best help out.

In other words, how can the US help re-build Lebanon. It was surprising to see that two of the CEOs are connected to IT technology (Intel and Cisco), a third is connected to oil (Occidental Petroleum) and the fourth is from Ghafari Inc. The mainstream media does not seem to be too interested in this story of good-will. No one does.
