Crisis amongst the cedars

What's next for Lebanon? The pressure on the US backed government to resign is now coming from all side; Shia, Sunni and Christian. It is not just Hizbullah. Should the protests continue it will be all but certain that the government will have no choice but to dissolve.

Then what? I certainly don't know. Another civil war is certainly a possibility. Syrian or Israeli action to influence the result of any election are also possible.

In any case no one, including the US, wins.
