2005-03-28 Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Here's a nice short-term compromise that'll result in long-term loss. Eventually it's going to come down to Hezbollah shooting it out with the Lebanese army to decide who's in charge. At that point it won't be Wally.

Lebanese opposition leader Walid Jumblatt has said the Shia resistance group Hizb Allah should keep its weapons until Israel withdraws from a disputed border area. The most prominent face of the country's anti-Syrian opposition, Jumblat made the remark after holding a meeting with Hizb Allah chief Hasan Nasr Allah at the organisation's headquarters in Beirut on Sunday. Afterwards, he said he would not press for Hizb Allah to be immediately disarmed. "The arms issue is not proposed, it is not open to discussion at this stage," Jumblat, who is also the political leader of Lebanon's Druze community, said. "When our ambitions are met, in agreement with the resistance, over Shebaa Farms, then we will talk about arms," he added, referring to a disputed strip on the border between Lebanon, Israel and Syria's Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. "We are still attached to protecting the resistance. Later, through dialogue and after obtaining the necessary essential guarantees, we will open up the question of arms."

#1 Eventually it's going to come down to Hezbollah shooting it out with the Lebanese army to decide who's in charge.

What are the chances that a bullet from a Hezbollah weapon will find its way into Jumblatt's head?
