"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

GEORGIA ON MY MIND
Last weekend's main international news development was the surprisingly quick and efficient (practically movie-length) peaceful toppling of Georgian President Edaurd Shevadnaze after protestors invaded the country's parliament in Tblisi.
Those developments vaguely resembled the much more dramatic scenes of the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the downfall of communist regimes across Eastern Europe but on a much smaller scale - Perestrokia Lite.
They don't make 'em like they used to anymore - just like Gulf War Two was but a mere shadow of the original, Perestrokia Two was close but no cigar.
