Whether Osama bin Laden is doing it cynically and has no interest in these matters, or whether he's doing it out of genuine conviction, his voice has a tremendous resonance throughout the Arab world.

It was the beginning of the West. All things to all people, the Lebanese rarely questioned their own identity.
