About the Site / Citations

This Website was created by Stephan Brenner (beginning on Tuesday, December 4th, 2001) as a Term Project for Prof. Mandaville's Government 332 (Middle Eastern Politics) class at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. The code was written using Yahoo! PageBuilder 2.60.24 and Microsoft Word 2000. The orientation-images appearing on the Main Page were composed using Microsoft Paint as well as Ulead Imagepals 2.0. The All text, unless otherwise noted (in the Perspectives Section), is my own work and the pictures featured on the site (In the Pictures Of The Massacres section and the Main Page) are believed to be in the public domain, as they appear on numerous sites throughout the internet without information regarding copyright. If this assumption is in error and the pictures are, in fact, intellectual property of an outside party, please notify me and I will remove them immediately. The map of Lebanon (lebmap.html) has been taken from the Central Intelligence Agency's World Factbook 2001, and is in the public domain. All outside links are authored and maintained by parties in no way affiliated with me and I am assuming no responsibility over their validity and nature of content. However, please report "dead links" to me and they will be removed from this site. Please note that even though this site is intended as an informational resource, accuracy, correctness, validity, and relevance of its contents can not be guaranteed as the information provided is only as good as the information of my sources, and it is advised to consult outside sources in case of my error. Please contact me if any of the information on this site stated as factual is, in fact, incorrect, so I can make an effort to research and correct the problem. Also, please notify me in case you plan to quote any text on this site. The text, including html code, is my own work and may not be duplicated without my consent.
