Back to the OP. The crisis seem to have been averted. Siniora is going to be appointed PM.
Nassrallah comes out strengthened and is having virtually veto power over the Lebanese political scene. Not that it’s in any way a good thing for the prospect of a “free” lebanon, but it certainly is a slap in the face of Bush’s policies in the region.
What is needed now is some serious good faith on every side of the political board to move the country forward and restore its dignity. The worst is over in my opinion. Compared to the compromise they just made, the rest should be a cakewalk.

What’s that, you want to get back on topic? No more discussion of the 7th century ethnic cleansing of Christian Syro-Phoenician Lebanon so that it became another Arab state?

And they have the nerve to bitch about Israel in light of this?
lol
And about Lebanon, I can’t see how anyone could think a radical private army could be a good thing. The existence of Hezbollah on Israel’s border is an invitation for invasion, the oposite of what the anti-Israelis think Hezbollah will prevent.
