Not Completely Peaceful

Via Instapundit, the BBC has a slide show of today's protests in Beirut that helped bring down the pro-Syrian government of Omar Karami. As the photo above shows, some soldiers roughed up protestors, including this man wearing a Columbia University sweatshirt.

Columbia has caught a lot of bad press lately for the actions and words of some of its professors of Middle East studies, but this man is showing a degree of bravery rarely seen among that august institution's professoriate or leadership.
