Tragic. After Syria was finally thrown out of Lebanon, the election in 2005 was so hopeful. Of 128 parliamentary seats, only 35 were won by Hezbollah. A million people flooded the streets of Beirut to celebrate.

That was only two years ago. How could the Islamofascists have made such headway in such a short time? Sorry, but I'm seeing a huge failure of diplomacy . We needed to be in there propping up the new government with everything we had.

The picture you have posted says it all. A huge mosque hiding to its left a smaller Saint George Cathedral. You could not see the Cathedral because it is also hidden by the large yellowish commercial center.

It had been cooking in the decision making kitchen of the government for more than 6 months, the same government you “need to prop up”. Sure, the government then retracted, imploring an innocent error............. Message bluntly sent and well received.
