Summary

America steps into the Lebanon, and Britain into Jordan, at the request of those countries’ governments, to nip in the bud any threat of a repetition of the Iraq revolt. But the crisis is still far from over - and the world waits anxiously to see what will happen in the Middle East powder barrel.
