Abu Aardvark and Jonathan have some interesting thoughts on today's protests organized by Hizbollah in Lebanon. While change is certainly coming to that country, the direction it will take is far from clear, and actions like today's show that in a more sovereign Lebanon one of the leading players will be a political party that the United States brands a terrorist organization. But that's too simple, much like calling today's protests "pro-Syrian" is too simple. This being Lebanon, politics is never simple and it will be interesting to watch this as it develops further.
UPDATE: Helena Cobban notes how Israeli actions are likely affecting the timing of all this.
