Who is Michel Aoun, really?

SALAMEH NEMATT, WASHINGTON BUREAU, "AL-HAYAT": Well, basically, he' a Christian leader. He was in an army general, commander of the army in 1991. A deal between the Syrians and the United States, believe it or not, where -- by which the Syrians sent troops to join the U.S.-led alliance against Iraq, paved the way for the Syrians to move on Michel Aoun and oust him from power and end his campaign to liberate Lebanon from Syrian forces.

He was ousted, he took exile. He went on exile in France. CLANCY: Now, during that entire exile -- we talked with him several times -- he remained fiercely, fiercely anti-Syrian.

But when he got back to Lebanon, and more or less, he was shunned, wasn't he, by the anti-Syrian forces that had formed a political opposition? NEMATT: Yes. He was basically left out in the cold by the coalition created by Jumblatt, the Druze leader, as well as Saad Hariri, the son of the former prime minister who was assassinated a couple of months ago.

I think that -- you ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
