    I don't live there but all my family is there except for my immediate family...

    Unfortunately for Lebanon to say this very succinctly without writing an essay, there are too many cooks in the kitchen…

    Too many different sects in such a small country with too many different interests…

      hey maple
      post this on the lebanese tribe or politics tribe if u want.

      the situation here is awefull, lots of tension between different parties. now all i am thinking about is to leave lebanon becuase the situation is so bad. till now there has been 1 dead and almost 10 injured in clashes between sunii's and shiia's!!

      the problem is that some of the sects in lebanon didn't learn yet that lebanon can't be governed by one party alone.

        I lived through the "civil war" and I really thought the Lebanese factions have learnt the lesson. I still hope they have, and will contain these skirmishes.

        This time, though, the trouble is that the americans and the zio-Nazi "israelis" are intent on a different scenario. They want Lebanon dismembered into factional entities, just like they are cooking for Iraq. The objective is a hegemony of the zio-Nazis and ultimate control of the whole area by the americans, so the oil is in their hands and any resistance to the two is gone. It is obvious to me that nobody gains from any chaos in Lebanon except these two terrorist thugs. One proof is to see who actually went ahead and destroyed so much of Lebanon and Lebanon's resources and infrastructure last summer.

          How much of what's going on now is a result of the recent Hezbollah-Israeli fighting? In other words, would this have happened anyway regardless of what Israel had done?

            The answer to the second question is yes, but it would have taken more time.

            it started at least a year earlier than the summer war, so it was going to happen regardless of the war.
            but the war added even more problems and speeded up things.

          It's a bit of a short-cut analysis. But yes, I think it boils down to something like that. Some analysts would say that the objective is to annex southern Lebanon, to create a puppet "Christian State" with strong "ties" to Israel and maybe a "muslim" entity to hold everything else, including the Palestinians.
