March dampened by the weather in Lebanon today

From what I've read only a few hundred people braved the downpour of rain to march for secularism today. Not enough showed up to make much impact or the news.  I know it's not the last time the Lebanese take to the streets sick of the sectarian system.But there will be a next time. You can count on it.

For some reason someone is determined to undermine civil peace and fuel problems in Lebanon. Early this morning there was an explosion near a Church in Zahle,  which caused a lot of damage to St Mary's Syriac Orthodox church, in the same area as the Estonian tourists were kidnapped. Thankfully no one was hurt, but strangely no one has claimed responsibility either.

Things are getting uglier in Syria and 2 Reuters journalists have gone missing Saturday after travelling to Syria from Lebanon. Hopefully they will be found shortly.
