oh snap!
So Lebanon.

Talk about a big fucking mess.

No doubt that as soon as something stabilizes there, somebody will invade it... just to make sure that the "right" man is in power.

Am I right?

Mean time, I'm not sure the Lebanese knew what hit them. You can just hear a parody of SNL going "Good Morning, Beirut... I love the AK-47 you're sporting!"

No, you're not :)

Though by using weasel words like "as soon as", "somebody" and "right", your statement is true - depending how you define your terms.

Also, you haven't put a deadline for your prediction - so you can't be proved wrong... ever...

BTW - The Lebanese do know what hit them. The "Cowboys"(Hizbullah) who were off fighting the "Indians"(Israel) decided that they wanted the land that the "Farmers"(Lebanon) were sitting on.
As long as the cowboys were fighting the Indians, things were fine.
But now the cowboys want a piece of the political pie...

Don't have time to comment on your actual point, but the Israelis can't be the "Indians" in Lebanon because we aren't the natives there and seeing as we (Israelis) are the ones who went in a few times... surely we are the "cowboys".

If anything it would be "Indians" (Lebanese), "Cowboys" (Hizbullah), "Conquistadors" (Israelis)

;D

The metaphor doesn't need to be extended all the way.

Cowboys and Farmers are supposedly on the same side against the Indians.

Actually, they often fight each other, despite being in their best interest to co-operate.

Farmers are weak fighters, unlike Cowboys and Indians.

The metaphor stands.

V

But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

-"V for Vendetta"
