So much for the Bush Doctrine: "When elections lifted reformers to power in Lebanon early last year, Bush administration officials hailed it as a showcase example of the "Arab spring" they saw sweeping through the region. Now, with the Lebanese government teetering on collapse, U.S. officials are braced for another — and some say final — blow to the administration's campaign for its vision of reform in the Middle East."
