The Second Lebanon War

Lebanon's political paralysis has reached its melting point, the fire has ignited, the lid has blown off, Beirut is now ablaze. The three year old tolerance-tension game between the March's has come to its decisive point in time and now the tugging of war has moved from the television screens to the deadly streets. Hizbullah has declared its state through war.

With an arsenal that has proven havoc-hell against the israeli's, the "former resistance organization' has now shifted roles from being a defensive entity into an offensive threat to Lebanons soviergnty. The so-called 22 years of credibility as a Resistance force has pulverised to dust in just seconds. Did Iran signal the barbaric seige of Lebanon, or did the West sound the bells of war? Memories of wars past will haunt us, but todays survival instincts will surpass all fears, taboos and red lines we vowed not to cross. Hizbullah has demonstrated an uncalled for military might and flex of muscle to the disgust of their fellow Lebanese at the untimely cost of their existence. The Shiaa sect of Lebanon has been savagely sliced away from their fellow patrons. This is Hizbullah's end. They have dug their own grave before removing the klashinokov from their flag. But then again, what purpose would their weaponless flag serve in being a resistance force with nothing to resist it seems but the hopes, dreams, and ambitions of their fellow Lebanese' lust for life.
