Gemayel's Funeral Turns into Anti-Syria Rally


Recently Lebanonese Christian Pierre Gemayel was assassinated. The throng of anti-Syrians (which are nearly powerless) showed up in force at Gemayel’s funeral.

In
A Blog For All the essayist speculates the assassination could lead to a second Cedar Revolution in another outcry to toss out pro-Syrian agents from Lebanon. The anti-Syrians represent Christians, Sunni and Druze. The pro-Syrians are largely Shi’ite and within that subgroup they are largely Hezbollah.

This assassination could lead to a World War much like the assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand became the spark that led to World War I.

It is speculation, but it is interesting speculation.
