An American in Lebanon

Michael Totten has travelled to Lebanon, and will be in the region for the next six months. This should be a great way to get interesting reports from the Middle East from a smart, observant reporter. Make sure you visit his blog every few days to get the updates. And, always make sure you read the comments section.

This will help you stay informed, and get better info than Time or Newsweek. Just a few minutes a day, and free!

Here is a recent post from Totten about a Syrian friend that has just become an American citizen. This now allows him to go back to Syria to see his family, without fear of being arrested or conscripted. Its a nice story.
