The newly canonized Lebanese saint, Father Ya`qub Al-Kabbushi, was credited with the "miracle" of curing a woman from cancer--and notice here this Lebanese propensity to either "discover" cures for cancer or to fend off cancer through religious miracles/quackery. But if he was able to cure diseases, why is he also credited for founding a hospital? Why not cure them all with one stroke. Inquiring minds want to know. I want to know, damn it.
