On Lebanon

Lawrence Auster has a clear head when it comes to Lebanon, and of the civil war and its causes.

My guess is that Joseph Farah and others who blame everything on Syria are planning on blaming Syria when unoccupied Lebanon re-erupts into a civil war (oh, everything was peaceful! Syria deliberately stirred things up to make it look like the occupation was justified!) and then suggesting an Israeli occupation to end it.

Farah definitely is upset that Israel left, although to be fair he implies that it would have been all right if they had given the Christian militias sufficient warning.

Of course, in reality I have a feeling that he has a solution for the demographic imbalance - let's just say that it is one he has suggested elsewhere in the Arab world. And let's just say that I wouldn't be surprised if he suggests that we don't give much of a warning or evacuation period.

That is all.
