Their Prague Spring, their Tianenmen Square? A bunch of tanks beats a popular protest any day of the week. This is the Age of Tyranny; don't count Lebanon free yet.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking but didn't want to say aloud.

Well, a lot of the anti-Syrian protesters are probably Christian, and noone lately has gotten away with massacring Christians. There are probably over a dozen organizations in the US who are charged with protecting the rights of Christians worldwide and who can say they have a friend in the White House.

Dear Abby, A couple of women moved in across the hall from me.
One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid-twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment.
Do you think they could be Lebanese?

Hardly, pretty much the opposite actually.

Just another insecure female - you know we all have attributes we would like to improve if we could, bad eyes, big forehead etc...

I know I'll never be a hot, freedom-seeking, free-loving young Lebanese girlie so I get a little twinge when I see my man droolin over them.

It's the balance of nature...for the twinges and drooling you provoke in the male population.
