Updates from Beirut

Live from Beirut, you'll find Ben Ryan.  The SIPA '07 grad is a long-time friend of The Morningside Post, and this isn't the first time he's blogged from the middle of a Lebanese politico-military crisis - back in the summer of 2006, Ben's blogging before his evacuation to Cyprus got him onto CNN's Anderson Cooper 360.

Check out Ben at Rational Grounds - we wish safety to you and your friends in Beirut, and to all the people of Lebanon caught in the middle of more mad fighting.
