#3 The Paleos have been an unpopular presence in Lebanon for many years and not just with the Druze and Christians. The Paleos know this which is why they want to keep their weapons.

As with so many things in the Arab world, there is no easy solution.

#4 This is one reason the United States needs to reactivate and rearm a couple of WWII battleships. Park one about 15 miles off the coast of Lebanon, and let them shell the "palestinian" camps until nothing's left but a fine sand. It would take about 600 sorties by aircraft to accomplish the same thing, at fifty times the cost. In the end, I don't think Lebanon would mind very much.
