      Bush's achievements in the Middle East were supposed to have been the 'Cedar Revolution' in Lebanon and the removal of Syria troops; holding fair elections in Palestine in January of 2006; and a deal to have Gen. Pervez Musharraf cohabit politically with Benazir Bhutto, leader of the Pakistan People's Party.</DIV><BR /><DIV>As of this weekend, Lebanon does not have a president and the country's stability is in doubt.  The Palestinian Authority is divided and is a mess, with the elected government having been overthrown by a US-backed coup.  And opposition leader Nawaz Sharif has returned to Pakistan, possibly derailing the Benazir option but also provoking a crisis in the political elite about what they should do.</DIV><BR />I don't think this is going well.
