Given the state of world affairs, it shouldn't surprise anyone that both "Drawing Conclusions" and "Around the World with Nellie Bly" are covering Lebanon this week.

"Drawing Conclusions" offers a pair of cartoons by Sargent and Carlson that are both pretty funny, given the seriousness of the situation, and which come at it from very different perspectives.

And Nellie simply recaps 4,000 years of Lebanese history in 400 words. Another day at the office for our Nell.
