Crisis Intensifies in Lebanon As Hezbollah Takes to Streets






The situation in Lebanon mystifies me. Hezbollah and a Christian faction led by the Aoun family have united to bring down the government of Prime Minister Siniora.

Here is the thing. I can understand Hezbollah attempting to bring Siniora. I can also understand Christians wishing the Siniora government’s demise.

Hezbollah Shi’ites is because Siniora has not totally walked the Syrian line. Christians are because of Siniora’s ineptitude in protecting anti-Syrian government PM’s and voices in Lebanon. In fact the last assassination (
Pierre Gemayel) in Lebanon was a Christian that was murdered by Syrian agents or Hezbollah or both in collusion.

If Aoun has made some kind of deal with Hezbollah, he must be delusional. Does he not realize that a Hezbollah controlled Lebanon will be disastrous for Christians in Lebanon.
