WHAT IS HAPPENING IN LEBANON?
By Laurie King-Irani, Electronic Lebanon, 22 May 2007

Simplistic and knee-jerk reactions to Lebanon's current
travails are too easy, and not up to the standards of good
and responsible journalism. I've spent much of the past 48
hours trying to get a better grasp on what is really going
on in Tripoli. It's not easy to do, and it occured to me
this morning that this may, in fact, be the story: the
difficulty of interpreting these events stems from the
lack of a comprehensive understanding of the ways that
dramatic changes throughout the region, and indeed, the
world, are echoing through Lebanon's war-damaged
sociopolitical landscape.
