Democracy Building & Consensus in Lebanon
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2009-07-09/democracy-building-consensus-lebanon
In recent elections, Lebanese voters sent a pro-Western majority to parliament, denying a challenge from the militant Hezbollah. We look at the challenges ahead for the newly-named Prime Minister Saad Hariri -- son of slain former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri -- and look at the foreign powers like Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. are likely to play.
