Israel, Lebanon Will Observe a Cease-Fire to Discuss a Peace Treaty

Eh, we'll see. The problem is south Lebanon, which is filled with poor and resentful welfare-queens who are also Shia Muslims devoted to Hezballah. Because the poor, non-working welfare queens of the south need to be subsidized, the north of Lebanon sends them aid and food, but Hezballahs seizes the aid and distributes it under the Hezballah banner, out of Hezballah offices. The idiot Shia poors all think, then, that this largess comes from Hezballah.

It does not. It comes from the people in the north -- Christians, Druze, Sunni Muslims -- and is simply stolen by Hezballah.

And of course Iran pays the Hezballah terrorists, too. Syria used to as well, but Syria has mostly collapsed so I don't know how much Syria is paying to Hezballah any longer.

Most of Lebanon would like to live in peace -- but the Iran-funded, Hezballah-loyal Shias in the south won't let them. And the north of Lebanon just won't do the obvious thing, which is to separate completely from the south and declare both areas their own separate countries. I don't know why. I think it's the kind of family loyalty you have for your wayward, drug-addict, criminal, eternal fuck-up cousins. They're an unending burden but they're family.

I don't have hopes for these "peace" talks. Actual peace would require the north of Lebanon -- Christians, Druze, and Sunni -- taking military action against their own wayward terrorist moron cousins in the south, disarming them, driving out Hezballah. and posting soldiers in the south to keep an eye on the terrorists.

But they have always refused to do that, and I don't see why that would change now.
They don't want to be at war -- but the southern Shias do. And the weird thing is, it's the people who want to be at war who get to decide if you're at war or not.

I doubt it but I guess there's hope.

Meanwhile...
