OVERVIEW
Lebanon: The Earthquake
Following the recent assassination of former Prime Minister
Rafiq Hariri -- and decades of Syrian hegemony over Lebanon
-- hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Beirut, suspecting
Syrian involvement in Hariri's murder and demanding the withdrawal
of Syrian troops. It was an unprecedented display of Lebanese
solidarity. FRONTLINE/World reporter Kate Seelye -- the
daughter of an American diplomat who has lived in Lebanon and
Syria for much of her life -- navigates the forces in play and
asks whether democracy or war will be next for Lebanon. read

Liberia: No More War
General Opande's last mission
United Nations peacekeepers moved into Liberia in 2003 to help
implement a peace deal and make the country secure both for
civilians and for the transitional government that was put in
place after President Charles Taylor was exiled. With unique
access to the mission under Force Commander General Daniel Opande,
FRONTLINE/World reporter Jessie Deeter, accompanies the
charismatic Opande into the war-torn region as the mission faces
one of its biggest challenges -- to disarm more than 100,000
former fighters and offer them an alternative to war. read
