A friend of NRO sent this note to Kathryn who forwarded it to me:

K-Lo,
Jonah’s post about the editorial in the Lebanese Daily Star ignores the fact that the writer is citing the elder Bush’s mistaken concessions to Syria in the past in order to peddle a dangerous lie in the present: “that Hizbollah is more on the side of Lebanese nationalism than Syrian solidarity.” Friends and appeasers of terrorism will be promoting this lie aggressively in coming days. NRO should be helping to discredit it, not lending it credence.
