Excursions on the Middle East, politics, the Levant, Islam in politics, civil society, and courage in the face of unbridled, otherwise unchecked power.
Very interesting article. A couple of questions I hope you can answer:
(1) I've read that France & Saudi Arabia have been trying to broker a deal between the government & the opposition, but the Bush Adminstration has scuttled any compromise. Is this true?
(2) Who are the recent executive orders by the White House blocking fundraising/freezing property of "Persons Undermining the Sovereignty of Lebanon or Its Democratic Processes and Institutions" aimed at?
