Terry Roed-Larsen is one of the most detestable characters on the world stage today. He is the UN High Commissioner for Lebanon, and interferes in the most minute details of Lebanese affairs, to the glee of the Lebanese groups that chant and shout about Lebanon's sovereignty and independence, and his latest report even dared to speak about foreign (only Syrian and Iranian) intervention in Lebanon, without darling to speak about other foreign interventions in Lebanon. He never embarks on a mission in the Middle East before taking his orders from the National Security Council at the White House. Yesterday, on LBC-TV he explained the "UN' position on Emile Lahhud: he said that the secretary-general can't deal with leaders unless they are legally and constitutionally elected. I kid you not. Of course, you don't expect an LBC-TV anchorperson to challenge him on that point. If that was true, the UN would not be talking to any Arab leader.
