Dearborn, MI: Battlefront America

NPR has a two part series concerning Dearborn, MI. It's a surprisinglys straight look at the growing war brewing right here in America.

Naim Bazzi sits with about 14 other Lebanese men in a circle in the front living room of his house in an upscale part of Dearborn, Mich. The town is home to the nation's largest Lebanese-American community. Some of the men finger Islamic prayer beads; all are somber. They are here to mourn, to pay respects.

Bazzi left Lebanon in 1976; his parents stayed behind. Last week, Bazzi lost his elderly mother, Amina, in the southern Lebanese village of Bint Jbeil. She was too old to leave when fighting broke out.

From NPR

Honestly I'm shocked NPR would play the audio from the protests, how will they survive the outrage from the kook fringe that wants America to be the evil in every news report.
Only time will tell.
