Perhaps The Revolution Was Greener On Our Side After All

February 3, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Yesterday I linked to a Lebanese man’s envious view of the Egyptian revolution. It was before things went downhill with the Mubarak Janjaweed coming over and people hurling stones, bombs and blades at each other in droves. I’m afraid I jinxed the Egyptian revolution by saying that “all revolutions look unstoppable” in the early days.. As for the Lebanese, today they’re in a rather grateful mood.
