More from the Lebanon

I have blogged before about the Lebanon's troubles. It would seem that they are about to take another turn for the worse. "Lebanon is bracing itself for violence after the pro-Syrian president declared a state of emergency to stop power passing to rivals loyal to the prime minister. Just hours before his presidential term expired at midnight, President Emile Lahoud said he was handing power to the army to "preserve security all over the Lebanese territory"..Fears also spread that groups loyal to Syria, including the powerful and militant Shia group Hizbollah, may move to set up a parallel government."

How many more Lebanese must die before the world realises that Syria must be kept out of their neighbour?
