Lebanon

President General Emile Lahoud of Lebanon became the 37th world leader to honor my request.

The correspondence arrived in a presidential envelope (not shown) which was enclosed in a larger manila envelope. Interestingly, it was actually mailed from within the United States by the Lebanese consulate here in New York. Could they have wanted to save on international postage? If so they would be happy to know that the stamps weren't even canceled by the post office...

Most people in the West believe that Syria essentially controls and dominates Lebanese politics and its leaders. In fact, recently they assasinated the Lebanese Prime Minister because they didn't like the guy. I can't help but wonder if the Syrians had to approve of this correspondence.
