Segacs's World I Know

Polling in Southern Lebanon has given an overwhelming victory to Syrian-backed terrorist faction Hezbollah. But just look at the choices that the people had:

Interior Minister Hassan Sabei said Hezbollah and the allied Shia party Amal won all 17 contested seats by a wide margin. The ticket had already been declared the winner of six other seats in the south where there were no challengers.

The vote across the south was so lopsided that the losers, a range of communists and independents, received little more than one-tenth of the vote.

Among the losers was Anwar Yassin, a communist ex-guerrilla who spent 17 years in Israel jail before he was freed in a prisoner swap last year. He received 18,450 votes.

Some choices. Geez, and we thought we had nobody worth voting for in our elections…
