Some Think The Tunisian Crisis Should Get More Coverage Than The Lebanese One

Michael Collins:

the situation in Tunis seems truly out of anyone’s control, the government’s or the protesters’, and therefore much more of a wild card than the Lebanese crisis, in which Hizbullah and its allies are pushing the issue to the edge, but still have the ability to pull things back. Lebanon is engaged in a political game of “chicken,” while Tunisia is riding a tiger and can’t figure out how to dismount.

Translation: Would you rather pay attention to the crazy guy who knows what he’s doing or to the saint who just discovered insanity?
