U.S. Lawmaker Kucinich on 'Fact-finding' Visit to Lebanon, Syria
A U.S. lawmaker strongly opposed to U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan and the Libyan conflict is on a "fact-finding" visit to Lebanon and Syria, his office said Monday.
Democratic Representative Dennis Kucinich held talks Monday in Damascus with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s state news agency SANA reported.
He is also scheduled to visit Lebanon for talks with President Michel Suleiman, his office said in a statement.
"Peace is not just the absence of war," Kucinich said in the statement.
"Peace is a conscious, active pursuit that requires work and communication. My work as a member of Congress requires that I learn firsthand about events in order to better understand policy alternatives for America and other nations."
He also planned to meet with democracy activists and non-governmental organizations during the trip, which his office said came "at the request of many of his constituents."

THE FOUND FACT IS THIS Bashar gave the final knockout punch to the Wahhabi and Salafi terrorists of Saudi Arabia and their pathetic stooges in Lebanon. Now is the time to dismantle the Hariri Mafia, its Al Qaeda - Akkar and Tripoli Brigades and the disease known as Hariri's Sunni Christians. This deserves a standing ovation to Bashar, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the most honest of all people, General Michel Aoun. LEBANON'S SPRING IS COMING. LET'S ALL REJOICE.
