democracy is not really democracy in lebanon. i'm not so sure how much exposure this had had in western press, but the recent toppling of the government by hezbollah as a political motive for Hairir's support of the UN report on Lebanon is worrysome.

With Hariri now replaced with the hezbollah backed Mikati, i can only pray and weep for lebanon.

as much as the west wants to see many of these governments go, i think an immediate overhaul of arab nations is definately not a wise decision for neither the east nor the west. the political vacuum this will leave can only leave more room for fundamentalists to get a stronghold in government.
