“Millions” urged to mark massacre in Syria's Hama
Top US official says Israel could strike Iran in spring
UN crafts new draft on Syria resolution
Our shadow president
Michael Young

Simply a decent man
Nassib Lahoud, who died early on Thursday at the age of 67 after a long battle with cancer, was always held up as a “clean” man and was genuinely respected by Lebanese of all sects. His presidential aspirations were perhaps thwarted because of that very quality.
