Lebanon's Prime Minister Omar Karami resigned for the second time. It looks like good news for the democratic opposition, but not everyone thinks that it is. I asked Nabil Abou-Charraf, student leader and one of Lebanon's original 200 democratic oppositionists, what he thought of Karami's second ouster. His answer surprised me, and it may surprise you as well.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

The importance of free and fair election cannot be overstated. This is history in the making.
