'Boola Boys Getting Nervous
the 'boola boys are becoming nervous in lebonon. what they fear and arent willing to say is that israel will NOT be asked to put their organization to sleep but that some type of real lebanese force will attempt to do this within the next couple of years.
if that type of fun grew out of control it could quickly become a cause for civil unrest between the shite, sunnis, and christians in lebanon.
'boola boys are asking for demonstrations in favor of syria, they are asking suddenly that there is no foreign interference in lebanon. THIS is the best joke of them all coming from a group that gets its help from iran and syria.
we must remember what lebanon is and isnt. it isnt coherent, it isnt a modern nation state but more a world made up of modern tribes whose leaders guide their flocks.
lebanon could be a spectacular country and a wealthy one if all goes correctly, but getting there will be challenging every step of the way.
which leads me to the statement that at one time - once upon a summer moon in a complicated world - it was seen as a good thing by some in the west that syria was in lebanon keeping a simmer on all the cooking pots. have the cooking pots changed enough the past twenty years to understand that warfare between their various clans isnt the route? how did the civil war start in lebanon again? who and how many tried to take over the country with its own militants?
there are still many of the same pots that are boiling in lebanon and we had better be careful. what expresses itself so wonderfully at night in the clubs of beirut as a rich mix of heritage could turn into an inferno in no time if people and countries aren't careful.
do they - the great uncooked - understand that building a nation which could be quite prosperous, free, and an example to many of us would be .......well how should i put it? nice.
utopia but nice.
having said all this syria still has its army in lebanon, they appear to be readying to pull back into the ba'kaa valley. 'boola boys are nervous. and the thousands upon thousands of syrian 'foreign' workers in lebanon are perhaps wondering what it will feel like to work in a foreign country.
the card game is getting interesting now. what interests me is that no one seems to know who the dealer is.
