		<description>I don&#039;t follow the puzzlement Mr. Simon&#039;s first sentence.

What about being delusional, dishonest, and ignorant disqualifies one from the professoriate?

		<description>Ah... links:

The specific blog post I was referring to in my previous comment: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michaeltotten.com/archives/001310.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Another Assassination in Beirut - Continuously Updated&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/node/2354&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Foreign Policy.com link&lt;/a&gt; coming out and stating the opinion that Hezbollah or Syria&#039;s motivation is to prevent quorum.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michaeltotten.com/archives/001325.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Post from Totten&#039;s blog&lt;/a&gt;, but by a guest blogger, not Michael himself but a guest blogger (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.beirutbeltway.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Abu Kais&lt;/a&gt;), giving more detail about the parts of Lebanese constitution that apply to the composition of the Cabinet, and some analysis of Hezbollah&#039;s activities in &lt;i&gt;&quot;hijacking an entire community and pitting it against the &lt;/i&gt;(Lebanese)&lt;i&gt; state&#039;s legitimate authority&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

And last: Sort of a chuckler post about Syria and finding a &quot;fall guy&quot; for the assasination of Gemayal: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michaeltotten.com/archives/001314.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Keystone Terrorists&quot;&lt;/a&gt;. Money quote:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;At least Damascus has enough sense to avoid blaming the Israelis for murdering a leader of the most historically pro-Israel political party in Lebanon.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

... although that post was written back on the 22nd... things might have changed since then, and Damascus may well be blaming Israel by now.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;...it is hard to see what Syria or Hezbollah gain from Gemayel&#039;s killing.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Didn&#039;t Michael Totten&#039;s blog say something about this, that if enough members of the Cabinet were assasinated, the Cabinet won&#039;t have enough memnbers to make their quorum and would dissolve? Therefore toppling the Lebanese government? I&#039;ll go back through his blog and try to find that info.

Michael, if you happen to be here reading this and I&#039;ve mis-summarized things, my apologies. I&#039;ll get the link and the correct info soon.

		<description>OT: what&#039;s gone wrong with your little hat icon at the beginning of each post?  Yesterday it was a tiny CBSNews logo, and today it&#039;s a tiny sitemeter logo -- or is that just me?

		<description>&quot;He says he&#039;s Jewish. If Professor Levine - excuse me, LeVine (he actually pronounces it &quot;Leh-Vee-Neigh&quot;) - isn&#039;t a self-hating Jew, I don&#039;t know WHO is.&quot;

I am not Jewish---and I take for granted that at least half the time I am more pro-Israel than any Jew I might meet in the outside world.  Something is clearly wrong.  It is my theory that leftist ideology inheretly encourages Jewish self hatred.  We should never forget how much Karl Marx despised his roots.

		<description>Well, perhaps the whole post of Levines wasn&#039;t up at the time, but I noted that beyond the paragraphs first quoted, Levine does say:

&lt;i&gt;There is some logic to this view, given Syria&#039;s likely involvement in the assassination in February 2005 of Prime Minister Rafiq Harriri.
Gemayal&#039;s is the fifth assassination since Harriri&#039;s; most every victim was critical of the Syrians, and to a lesser extent Hezbollah.&lt;/i&gt;

And later:

&lt;i&gt;But even if we grant that Syria was behind Harriri&#039;s assassination (and as I explained in a posting at the time, there is very good evidence to support this assessment) it is hard to see what Syria or Hezbollah gain from Gemayel&#039;s killing.&lt;/i&gt;

I think the guy is probably a bozo, but the chosen paragraphs do seem more inflammatory when taken out of the full post.
