will examine current political dynamics between Washington, Damascus,
and Beirut in light of the assassinations of former Lebanese Prime Minister
Rafik Hariri and other leading Lebanese figures, and the political upheavals
that followed. What are the current U.S. policies towards Lebanon and

Middle Eastern countries?
