Off To Lebanon Part 2

In my previous post I talked about my upcoming trip. So, tonight I am off to Lebanon, it should be an interesting trip through JFK, Heathrow and finally Beirut Airport. I am traveling light with some clothing, Arabic books (for my classes in Beirut), a notebook, and a camera.

I will do my best to blog from Lebanon.

Topics I hope to cover:

1. Hizbollah anti-government protests in Beirut.
2. March 14th officials and their reaction(s) to the current assassinations by Syria.
3. The Lebanese Army vs. Fatah al Islam in Tripoli.
4. Rise of Khomenist Shi'ism/Iranian influence in Syria and Lebanon.
5. Sectarian differences in Lebanon.
6. Interviews with common people in Lebanon and their views on the current situation.
