BBC News, Beirut - Lebanon finds unity in street rallies, by Kim Ghattas

Well-heeled young people have taken part in the so-called “Gucci revolution”

Good girl.

The blast that killed Hariri devastated nearby luxury hotels, scaring off hundreds of Arab and Western tourists who left within hours, apparently taking Lebanon’s dreams of economic prosperity with them.

But instead of packing their bags and emigrating, as they have done so many times before, in wartime and in peace time, Lebanon’s well-to-do took to the streets in surprising numbers.

Isn’t that interesting. You can talk all you like about dominoes falling, and I’ll agree with you, but this, I think, is something else entirely.
