Blogging Lebanon

A friend is currently (probably?) in Syria, after having left Lebanon a few days ago. This spurred me to read some of the blog posts from the region. In amongst all the invective, finger-pointing and (quite legitimate) panic I came across this.

I can’t comment on the accuracy of his opinions, but I thought it was interesting and well-argued enough to link to.

(edit: according to this article, the US will be charging its citizens $300 to get them out of Lebanon. Way to tear down the social contract, guys.)
