I live in Hamilton Canada. There is a large Lebanese community here. Lebanese food is very popular. There is one restaurant in Hamilton called La Luna. It used to be called the Sheik. BY far the best Lebanese food I have ever had. Home made and fresh. Best shishtawook I have ever had.

This conversation is so crazy with hindsight. How right she was knowing the fertilizer disaster was a few years after this and the horrible situation that came out of it because of the lack of leadership.

Anyone who knows Joumana Haddad will laugh when they watch this... She talks to get attention, not to make sense. She sits in a beautiful cafe, eating tasty Lebanese food, speaking about whatever she likes and she's free to do so, but she will tell you that she is not. She's not very liked by many people because she has expressed racist and intolerant views in the past, and her political views are extreme without reasoning. She is a self-proclaimed atheist, and in a region like the Levant, that is something frowned upon. Trust CNN to interview someone this irrelevant...

Elliot Gould? <waiting for Lebanese waiting... waiting... he's weird!>
