You see a remarkable amount of credulity about the need to back “pro-American” leaders from Ahmed Chalabi to Mikheil Saakashvili to Pervez Musharraf and whomever else when in fact none of these people (as Chalabi and Musharraf have managed to make crystal clear over the years with certain betrayals) are, in fact, monomaniacally focused on advancing American interests. (Matt: You need to check out Siniora and more recently Chattah ... but heck, Lebanon is peanuts compared to Iraq, Pakistan ...etc.)
