This morning, we took a quick stroll past the Lebanese Embassy on 28th Street NW just to see if anything was going on, considering the two weeks of protests following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, the resignation of the pro-Syrian government and the calls from the opposition that Syria remove its troops from the country.

Jefferson Morley, in yesterday’s World Opinion roundup, has quite a bit more of the recent developments.

Really, our morning walk past the embassy was just cold and the Lebanese flag, with its famous cedar, was at half-staff. Nothing seemed to be going on. From the sidewalk on the McGill Terrace side of the complex, we found a children’s trampoline, partially covered with snow.

Speaking of kids … If you’re unfamiliar with Lebanon, we suggest you look at the Lebanese Embassy’s kids page.
