A Sweeping Ban

President Bush’s latest travel ban is so far-reaching even the many FPM supporters in the USA could be in danger.

ABR just pointed out President Bush’s Latest travel ban. And frankly, it can be scary even to legit Lebanese opposition. Check this out:

In order to foster democratic institutions in Lebanon, to help the Lebanese people preserve their sovereignty and achieve their aspirations for democracy and regional stability, and to end the sponsorship of terrorism in Lebanon, it is in the interest of the United States to restrict the international travel, and to suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of aliens who deliberately undermine or harm Lebanon’s sovereignty, its legitimate government, or its democratic institutions, contribute to the breakdown in the rule of law in Lebanon, or benefit from policies or actions that do so

So in other words, if another “black tuesday” were to happen tomorrow, where Aoun declares the government illegitimate and FPM supporters block the roads and “contribute to the breakdown in the rule of law”, George Bush’s text would apply to the FPM.

Is this a good thing?
