Lebanon After the Assads
The United States has important equities in Lebanon, including a desire for a generally friendly government’s economic and political stability; security cooperation; long-standing relations with the large Christian community in Lebanon and Lebanese diaspora in the United States; and ultimately peace between Israel and Lebanon within a broader regional settlement. Achieving these objectives will require navigating a tumultuous period in the country’s history following a war between Hezbollah and Israel that has devastated a large part of the country, exacerbating Lebanon’s already challenging economic conditions. But perhaps the most important dynamic will be how a likely Sunni-dominated state of uncertain composition in Syria will differ in its intentions toward Lebanon from the previous Alawite-led minoritarian Assad regime.

Nicolas Cage Asks Court to Annul Four-Day Marriage
Actor Nicolas Cage last week asked a court to annul his four-day marriage to Erika Koike, claiming that he was too drunk to be aware of his actions.
In his annulment request, Cage said that he and Koike, a makeup artist, got married in Las Vegas after they had drunk "to the point of intoxication".
The couple had been dating for a year.
“Prior to obtaining a marriage license and participating in a marriage ceremony, [Cage] and [Koike] were both drinking to the point of intoxication. As a result of his intoxication, when [Koike] suggested to [Cage] that they should marry, [Cage] reacted on impulse and without the ability to recognize or understand the full impact of his actions,” The Blast website quoted Cage’s lawyer as saying.
The actor also claimed that he was unaware of his girlfriend’s relationship with another person and her criminal record given that she's still undergoing legal proceedings for driving under the influence of alcohol.
This is Cage’s fourth marriage. He previously tied the knot with former waitress Alike Kim, singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley and actress Patricia Arquette.
