Things just might get much worse.

A Hezbollah supporter, Dr. Mustafa Hamade interviewed during a big Hezbollah demonstration in Beirut said that if the government doesn't resign Hezbollah and its allies (wonder who they are? -- sounds like Syria and Iran?) will burn Lebanon if necessary. Isn't it nice of the Hezbollah thugs...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6171024.stm [/SIZE] Perhaps this will explain why the defenders of Israel's massive attack on Lebanon was counter productive. Lebanon was not capable of attacking Hezbollah head on, the whole country is in a state of uncertainty and those who are for...

I was hoping to get a bit of a timeline for the last few week's events in Lebanon. Who attacked who, when, and for what reason. I've been going thru old sites, and I don't trust Wikipedia at all to handle this accurately. No arguing back and forth please about the right and wrong of an...

For those who follow the current war in Southern Lebanon, Human Rights Watch has released a report, Fatal Strikes with the sub-title Israel’s Indiscriminate Attacks Against Civilians in Lebanon, in which they direct a scathing critique against Israeli attacks on civilians.

According to the huffingtonpost, Iraqi PM Maliki is pledging $35 million in aid to Lebanon. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/malikis-testy-visit-is-_b_25790.html Arianna asks a good question: where exactly is that $35 million in aid coming from?!

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1120876249044 Burried as a footnote in this article, barely reported at all in western media, you would think ending such a restriction after more tha 20 years would get more attention. Congratulations, you now have...

Just listened to a Lebanese man address hundreds of thousands . His statement was :We are all Lebanese Muslim , Jew, Christian. We are all one all Lebanese" Crowd goes nuts. The demonstrators theme was Syria out , the pro Syrian government out. Wow an outbreak of spontaneous democracy? In the...

I have said quiet often that the Palestinians deserve someone better than Arafat. But don't the Isrealis deserve someone better than Sharon? http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/03/03/1078295453325.html?from=storyrhs

BBC article here. It gives a good view of what opponents of the move think. What do Lebanon's death penalty supporters have to say? I guess the BBC couldn't get any of them to go on the record. One wonders also what the opinion of the Lebanese public is. And why the BBC didn't see fit to...
