Another victory for the terrorist gang Hizballah, who will now have veto power over any Lebanese government decision: Lebanon’s feuding factions reach agreement.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Lebanon’s feuding factions reached a breakthrough deal Wednesday that ends the country’s 18-month political stalemate, but also gives the militant Hezbollah group and its allies veto over any government decision.

The deal, reached with the help of Arab mediators, was immediately praised by Iran and Syria, which back Hezbollah. But it appears certain to accelerate fears in the West over Hezbollah’s new power.

Kid's heads are filled with so many nonfacts that when they get out of school they're totally unprepared to do anything. They can't read, they can't write, they can't think. Talk about child abuse. The U.S. school system as a whole qualifies. -- Discussing the state of the education system in America - Playboy magazine, April 1993.
