Clocks of War

Tensions mount, tempers boil and rhetoric insults dash from side to side in Lebanons on going 3 year political saga. At first we hear news of embassies warning their expats to avoid travelling to lebanon in the next upcoming weeks. Next, we recieve word of cultural centers shutting down their doors in Sidon and Tripoli. In parallel, Imad Mughniyee is assasinated in a car bomb in Syria, Beiruts fueding sides flex their muscle in mass protests on the streets, Unifil member countries speak of a quick pullout from the south and El Sayid threatens for a misunderstood open war. The situation seems to be worsening by the day. Will there be a second lebanon war as it will be referred to in Israel which will yield different results and consequences? What are Hizbullahs motives this time around, with the war bells ringing from the West to go back and get the job done. I guess the Seniora Government will be squeezed in the middle once again on whos side to take.
