its amazing how its always about sunnis and shites and never the real issue of israel occupying arab lands....i'm neither a sunni or shite...nor am i racist...the core of the problem is there is no patriotism...look at how the jews all speak in one voice.....to those that keep repeating the old sunni vs shite rhetoric are you not tired of it? It has gotten arabs nowhere.....fact...there are over 1billion muslims in the world and out of those 2million in lebanon have ground israel and the US to a halt....the core of islam and any reliogion is to fight injustice....fact...for 60 years all the arabs..muslims, christians and druze have turned a blind eye to the injustises being done to the people of palestine....Fact...price bundar of Saudis Arabia flew to israel personally during the recent conflict in Lebanon to meet with olmert and ask him to attack Hezbollah and that he would bare the costs.....Fact...hezbollah defeated israel in the last war.....fact....the israeli heirachy to this day has not recovered from it......the truth is as arabs we are told to put up or shut up....fact....most of these sunni extremists come from countries aligned to the US as so called moderate arabs.....fact...the issue of sectarian violence is one the west forces on the arabs...both sides in lebanon have all the sects present in their groups....look at what happened in halba...sunnis killed sunnis....i could go on and on...get over the sunni vs shite thing its become stale.......

I think this article was right on point. The Shia in Lebanon have forgotten that they are apart of a small minority, and have turned away many sunni supporters in Lebanon with there violent actions in Beirut. I hope Sunni extremist dont make to Lebanon, but if they do not even Iran or Syria can stop the massive bloodshed that would take place. The Shia in Lebanon are proving that they can't have power without abusing it. I sincerly believe that all arab nations should dismantle hezballah assap since they have proved that they are a violent group who would even go as far as attacking its own people of Lebanon if it were threatened.

Seriously, the IDF with it's multi-billion dollar U.S. subsidies couldn't do it, the U.S. trained, Saudi financed Secure Plus mercenaries of Hariri couldn't pull it off, Jumblatt's overrated PSP got it's rear end handed to it in a single day. Now your last bet is to hope al-qaeda's rejects can defeat Hizb-e-allah. Seriously, snap out of it, it's over, the U.S. has lost the middle east. Afghanistan, Iraq and now Lebanon, what else do you want to give the Iranians? Bahrain? Saudi itself? Just stop it already, have Condi prove that her position isn't the result of affirmative action; fly her out to Teh'ran and cut a deal that will halt the Iranian advance or chances are good will be having this same discussion about the fall of some more "moderate" arab dictatorships.
