   They were probably upset that civil war didn't ensue. Curious that   
   shortly after Syrian forces leave, in go the Zionists again. Agreed this   
   is just a beginning. A South Lebanon Army mark 2 doesn't look a goer.   
   One million people have been 'displaced', i.e. bombed or threatened out   
   of their homes (who must surely include many Christians as well as   
   Muslims), and who are the main force putting up a fight against the   
   aggressors?
