You're talking during the "civil war" time, where even Shiiaa were killing Shiiaa's it was all mess.
Right now, Michel Aoun supporters whom are Christians majority, don't really know that If Aoun will be elected as a President, Hezbollah weapons and Syrian's secret service will be back to Lebanon.... All they care about is seein their General becoming a President.
I find it ironic actually, that in wester media news rhetoric the Free Patriotic Movement is referred to as "Pro Syrian" and Michel Aoun too.
I don't think this is the case..even his supporters would turn their backs on him.
Imagine Nasrallah suddenly saying, "Condoleeza Rice and Olmert are good people, we should offer cooperation and support for them!"
The entire dahyeh would call for his head.
But yeah I agree with Jack, at the end of the day everyone is after their own benefit. I said it previously in this thread, I don't believe Mr. Aoun is the solution to this country's problems. It takes much much more than that. The only solution is a collective cooperation from all sides, but nobody agrees with the other's ideology and that's why we're at a standstill. Every faction believes that there is too much at stake:
March14-LF-PSP alliance fear another satellite Syrian hegemonic rule.
Opposition-Hezballah-LFPM fear another hegemonic USA influenced rule.
Then you have the ordinary people -
Some say "Well I'd rather have Condoleeza Rice decide what's best for my country, I've had enough of those f*cking ba'athists."
Others would say, "Syria is an Arab country, I'm more comfortable with them as my ally, than the US who would bring us closer to Israel I'd want to be."
Nahr el Bared war went on for months, and once we cleaned that hole Lebanese had thought that would be the end of political assassinations.
Yet it's still happening.
Who's behind it, then?
Syria thru Hezballah? Or...simply..just Syria...to make things "easier" for the opposition to gain power?
The Mossad & CIA? Are they trying to cause internal instability so that they can have a pretext to make a serious intervention in our politics? (i.e. raising a case that the security in Leb is out of control, and slowly make their way to forcefully -violenty?- disarming Hezballah and then taking down Bashar in Syria as their politcal endgame)
I mean, Iraq's bombings are "understandable" the country's status is at "war". Lebanon is not, at "war" right now. Why is the internal security a complete mess?
You have army checkpoints all over the country, people sticking mirrors under your cars...in 2002 my car got towed away from a McDonald's parking lot coz I left it there for more than 2 hours! The parking attendant was nearly in tears telling me how he thought my sh*tty little Volkswagen had a bomb in it.
For the past 20 years+ it has clearly been obvious that whoever opens their mouth lashing out at Syria, immediately get's a bomb planted under his or her car. This is the only FACT so far.
Another obvious pattern is that after EVERY one of these murders whether it's Gemayel, Chamoun, Mouawad, Hariri, Tueni etc........we never found out a culprit as in, a person, a human, a f*cking lead...a finger print, a dust particle for cryin out loud....this is what pisses me off the most. It's like, oh...another murder. Ok. Who's next?
