#1 I feel sorry for the Lebanese - they have some cute chicks - but it seems like they have too many sheep and not enough sheepdogs relative to the Hezbo-wolf population.

#2 Not easy being sheepdogs when the wolves have a lively demography and you haven't (I'm speaking of the christians, who have an european-like below replacement level birthrate and an high expatriation rate, compared to the explosive natality of the chiites), and when after an endless and dirty civil war, you've laid down your weapons, and the wolves not only didn't, but got more and bigger ones.

#3 Sorta the Rhodesia of the ME. Ya gotta wonder why any decent person remains. Heck, I wondered that 20 years ago. Another example of hope's triumph over experience.
