What the hell is going on?

Somebody please explain to me. I'm at a loss recently. I don't understand what's happening to Lebanon these days. First off, why are people who were supporting Michel Aoun and against Syria for so many years, now with Hizbullah and by extension Syria? Opportunistic? One can say that about almost all political dinosaurs still screwing with Lebanon today. Right?

And what does Angry Arab think about this now? He was so critical of Aoun before, but now it seems as though he has an ambivalent and amost positive opinion of him. Why? I'm confused. Just because he criticizes Rafic al Hariri?

BOTTOM LINE:

It seems to me all parties involved do not have Lebanon's best intentions in mind. I don't like any of them. But I do believe that the current government is the least worse option at the moment. It seems to me that Aoun is getting paid by Syria so he can become president eventually. Aounites are cursing America just as much as the Hizbullians are. Doesn't mean the other options are great either. But must we go back to the stone age to settle these petty little schizophrenic scores?

What did everybody expect when the Iraq war was instigated? For the conflict to just stay within its borders? While the Lebanese situation is a long-time in the making, nobody can tell me that the sectarian strife in Iraq has not spread to Lebanon. Iraq became the new Lebanon of the 70s on the grandest scale, while the new Lebanon is preparing to become the old Lebanon again. It's so sad. So terrible. Just when it was getting back on its feet again. Where is this all going? Where are you taking us?

I bet you don't even know.

What I don't understand is why Christians that support Aoun think that Hizbullah will stick with him and not sell him out eventually? Isn't Aoun just putting a wedge between Christians?

Or is it just me?

Someboday explain please.

Remember, I don't like any current/dead political figures in Lebanon. None of them have done completely right by Lebanon. So, don't think I'm on your side if you support any of them one iota. I am completely and utterly indifferent and wishing for some new untainted faces.

And finally...

Is a wider regional war coming between the Saudi axis and the Iran axis?

the problem is, liminal, is that we continue to assume that the best option for lebanon is to have the christians unite, the sunnis unite, the shia unite, ad infinitum ...

such formulas of sectarian groupings will also lead to the current situation. it's just a question of when.

I agree with lazarus on this one. The so-called leaders only care about their own selves and people are so focused on sectarian groups that they don't notice Lebanon.
It kills me that people kept saying the they will remain united as Lebanese and only to find sects finding each other. Over a million people once made a vow... it seems so long ago now... Christians, Muslims, Druze, to remain united for ever and ever under the party of Lebanon.
Allah yerham those days.

What sickens me more is that even after seeing the risk of how horrible things can get people still debate about if Aoun or Geagea is better!

IT'S time the army implemented marshal law...and took over the streets and cleard everybody out...plus some media stations ought to be closed for spilling "oil on fire"... although hizballah leaders may be somehow peaceful in their speeches atleast...manar tv and website has been playing such a dirty role... there's a differnece between reporting news and fabricating and spicing stories...i mean they ask you to hate them...
I dont support any party...but manar tv walks in your house and asks you to hate them...and they present themselves as believers..and peace lovers...how is that when they wash the brains of their public..who many of them...by the way..only watch manar...and so end up with one point of view...

So goes for NBN and future TV...they should all be banned from news...but almanar is leading in that department...
If i was shite...and according to manar "dirty news"..i would hit the streets now and kill every sunni and durzi...

Luckily i'm not even in Lebanon!
Peace to you all...hope the army takes over...and shuts everybody up.

Referring to the question at the end of this post: Soon, Iran will no longer be an "axis". So you no longer need to ask this question.
