Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah (and their supporter Syria) cannot be allowed to undermine the democratically elected Siniora government in Lebanon (and the Christians of the country) by killing off the political figures who dare voice their opinions against them.  They CANNOT be allowed to give themselves the power they so savagely seek.  Gemayel is one of the brave, one of the many who have died for the cause of a free Lebanon.  The international community should step in.  There should be a state of emergency called in the Lebanon.  This has to stop because I want my children to be able to return to visit their family members in a FREE Lebanon.  God have mercy upon the soul of Pierre Gemayel and all who have died for their dream of a free and beautiful Lebanon.

I saw somewhere on TV that Israeli military spokesman said that if the UN resolution is broke by Hezbollah,they are ready to attack Hezbollah again...Now I am not really sure how trustworthy this source is,but this is the latest news I've heard...\nMy opinion:Israel already broke this cease fire in the first 24 hours and since then they kept flying over Lebanon...but it seems they can't get over the fact Hezbollah defeated them...I really don't think it would be the best idea to attack again Lebanon with all the UN troops there...\n\nhere is something really interesting:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6133920.stm\nIsrael is ignoring again the UN resolution...

You should do more research on the UN. They don't get any publicity when they are successful. They have prevented many civil wars since the 70's, such as Crete, Haiti, etc.

There are many reasons why there has been conflict between these two countries and there are many reasons why they had this recent conflict.  So, keep these things in mind:\n\n- Hezbollah (a recognised terrorist group) are a political party in Lebanon. They entered Israeli territory (internationally recognised borders) and kidnapped some Israeli soldiers for no apparent reason.\n\n- Hezbollah is funded by Iran and Syria and both countries have provided the terrorist organisation with extremely dangerous weapons that they use, with no provocation, against the Israelis. They have killed Israelis of all religions - Muslims, Jews, Christian, Druze etc.  The Iranian President at the same time has been saying to the world that Israel should not exist and that all Jewish Israelis should not exist there. This is called anti-semitism, which means that he discriminates and pursecutes people who are Jewish.\n\n- When Hezbollah and the Lebanese Government refused to return the kidnapped soldiers, Israel pleaded with them to return them again because it didn't want to have to come and get them.  They still refused and continued to launch rockets and other bombs into Israel from Lebanon, killing people, destroying homes and property and causing the people to live in bomb shelters in very bad conditions.\n\n- Hezbollah had been planning this provocation (the kidnapping) for at least a year or two and had dug an intricate system of tunnels that could be used to hide and transport people and weapons. They had also booby-trapped many buildings to try to stop Israeli soldiers from finding their kidnapped soldiers and capturing those launching terrorist attacks on Israel.\n\n- If a country is invaded (like Israel was) for no reason it is very difficult to sit back and not do something.  They had a responsibility to retrieve their kidnapped citizens and stop those who had been bombing their country (often around 200 rocket attacks per day).\n\n- A very easy solution would have been for the Lebanese Government to expel Hezbollah from the government unless they returned the kidnapped men, but this didn't happen.  So, there was much damage to their country by a country who was reluctant to defend itself.

That poll has been shot to death already, they asked 150 Sunni.  I am shocked that they didn't get 100% since the Sunni is Saddams people, 99% of the baathist party who lost power when we came in, no wonder they want us out.  BTW, they are also most of the insurgents and suicide killers in Iraq right now.

Right now Hezbollah is being directed by it's mentor, Syria to destabilize the Lebanese government, who they believe is sponsored by the US.  Hezbollah has made some serious threats against this government, and it certainly is in know bodies best interest, particularly Israel, to let this happen.\n\nNow, this is the same Syria that some dumb sh it in American politics has suggested we ask to help find a solution to the Iraq problem.  Also, this is the same Syria the is keeping Hezbollah, and the Islamist jihad equipped with arms, ammunition and jihadists to keep up the fight.  This is also the same Syria that is demanding a timetable from the US regarding it's troop withdrawal from Iraq.\n\nAre we totally out of our minds, that we would do anything to trust these dirt bags?  Has our whole damn political system fallen apart?  Is this an example of how the democrats operate?   Damn, now I'm really worried!

I'm syrian, but I think I have enough experience with other lebanese to answer your question. from what I've seen, the majority of lebanese are very open minded. There are strict cultural cliques (that's a muslim neighborhood, no christians live there, or only atheists go into that line of business, etc...) but I think that's relatively common throughout the MidEast. \n\nLebanon certainly has enough stereotypes of being the "loosest" of hte arab countries, but I think that its diversity gives it something no other arab nation has.

There was a civil war in Lebanon starting from the 1970s because of the political struggles, which is usual in newly formed states (Lebanon was under French rule till World War II).\n\nOne of the political forces asked Syria for intervention, and they stayed there till last year.\nOf course, not everybody likes the presence of a foreign power in their own country, this is why there is a tension between Lebanese and Syrians.\n\nRead details at the link below.

First, I'm not going to do your homework for you.  Google search a map of the world or something.  Secondly, your question does not make sense.  "...nation whose northern is Lebanon?"  Northern what?  This is the future....

Lebanon has essentially been in civil war for a long time.  I doubt it will get any worse then it is today.\n\nIf you are talking about internal striff, then i think it will countinue and get better and worse over time.  If you are talking actuall war with other countries, then no i don't think anything will happen like that.

Berut Lebanon\nits ancient, yet modernized.. It is highly fashionable. It is considered the Paris of the Middle East due to all the high modern fashion there, TV studios, night life, tourism intermerging with the old.. \nDubai is fast catching up though.

Hmm- which Palestine did Israel wipe out, since there has NEVER been a country called Palestine?\n\nAnd yeah- the media rightly let everyone know that the rteligious fanatic that rules Iran threatened genocide against a neighboring country- gotta wonder why that little fact doesn't bother you...
