Interesting info Sky, and thanks for sharing it.

Lebanon has long been one the powder kegs in the area, especially since they still are stuggling over whether or not Syria is in control. One election the lebanese nationalists win, then they are unable to move out of the economic struggles, and the next round puts pro syrian leaders back in. The fact is Syria has been looking for a way to retake the heights. It wasn't long ago they had a rather substantial force mustered in range of doing it, or at least making a rather good attempt. Its important for everyone to remember, Hezbollah does very little unless it is at the direction of Syria.

If it comes to a escalating confrontation, it will be interesting to see how the administration handles it, as well as how much pull they can show in the area.
