From the desk of Lucien Oulahbib on Wed, 2011-01-12 10:21 Some French intellectuals and journalists like Bernard-Henri Lévy, Patrick Poivre d’Arvor, Régis Debray and Dominique Souchier are clinging to straws while drowning. They will do anything to save themselves from oblivion, while they have nothing more to say than their usual discourse. And the best way to succeed is to bash America, to lecture it, or to steal from it by way of plagiarism. Now they go so far as to blame the fate of the Christians in the Middle East on the Bush presidency. That is what French Communist intellectual Régis Debray did last Saturday in an interview by Dominique Souchier on Europe 1 radio. The truth is that the situation of the Christians in the Middle East has been deteriorating since the end of the 1980s, more precisely: since the Iranian Khomeiny revolution - which is currently repeating itself in Lebanon. This, as well as the fate of the Copts in Egypt or the disturbances in Pakistan (similar to the uproar in Algeria in the 1990s) have nothing to do with the Bush presidency nor with Israel, contrary to what Debray believes.
