Lebanon’s Day of Rage….to be followed by Days of Malaise.
On January 26, 2011, Hezbollah orchestrates the fall of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s government. The next day supporters of Hariri’s March 14th Movement converge on the bus station, shout, overturn trash cans, set them ablaze. Then they go back home, go back to the cafe, go back to the bar and voila the Cedar Revolution fizzles out with a whimper.
