What’s Going On In Lebanon?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in The World

Ask Michael Totten.

He’s on the ground in Beirut with this report:

Fear and apprehension turned to anger and relief in Beirut after the Mehlis report named Syrian President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law as the chief suspect, and Lebanese President Emile Lahoud as a possible accomplice, in the assassination of Rafik Hariri.

The city didn’t explode. I didn’t think it would, but a lot of Lebanese thought it best to stay home. The army heavily deployed into the streets. It is mostly comforting, but also slightly unsettling…

Of course that’s not it, though. Much more about the mood in Lebanon, plus he’s got a BUNCH of pictures. Check it out.
