Let me explain this to the Lebanese people once and for all. Every time a Lebanese prime minister or president visits the US, Lebanese media publish a story that his wife met with the American First Lady. Gen. Sulayman's wife, we are told, met with Laura Bush. Let me explain it: during UN session, the American First Lady shakes hands with the spouses of all the visiting leaders from around the world. So the "meeting" with Gen. Sulayman's wife was really a hand shake. The transcript of the meeting goes something like this: so who are you? Lebanon? How nice. Come and take a picture. Goodbye. That is the door. Next?
