Summit Links


Qifa Nabki is posting links to various commentaries on today's Beirut summit. Blogger Nick Noe chimes in at Foreign Policy. And Hizbullah's al-Manar gushes about the "historic" nature of the summit (First Saudi monarch to visit since 1957!) and illustrates the excessive overuse of quote marks for emphasis. I'll try to sum up later today. Meanwhile, the picture above reminds me more of a royal audience than a state visit, but then, that's what this is.
