[LCM Articles] if a picture is worth a thousand words...

[Elias Muhanna]

I'd agree with Mohamad, and also add that some credit must be given to

replacing them with Lebanese ones.

One might say that this is just politics, but it seems that everything 
is politics these days. The substance is slowly being overwhelmed by the 
symbolism.
