Special guest interview with Lebanese citizen Mohamed Fakih - a student I taught 24 years ago in Taif, Arabia. Mohamad and I go on a trip down memory lane (first 30 min or so), remembering our earlier life together as teacher and expatriates in Saudi. Then we concentrate heavily on the events and issues emerging from Lebanon in the last 90 minutes of the interview. Listen to find out Mohamad's experiences, analysis, and predictions for Lebanon and his views of the political situation.
