There was a civil war in Lebanon starting from the 1970s because of the political struggles, which is usual in newly formed states (Lebanon was under French rule till World War II).\n\nOne of the political forces asked Syria for intervention, and they stayed there till last year.\nOf course, not everybody likes the presence of a foreign power in their own country, this is why there is a tension between Lebanese and Syrians.\n\nRead details at the link below.

Right now Hezbollah is being directed by it's mentor, Syria to destabilize the Lebanese government, who they believe is sponsored by the US.  Hezbollah has made some serious threats against this government, and it certainly is in know bodies best interest, particularly Israel, to let this happen.\n\nNow, this is the same Syria that some dumb sh it in American politics has suggested we ask to help find a solution to the Iraq problem.  Also, this is the same Syria the is keeping Hezbollah, and the Islamist jihad equipped with arms, ammunition and jihadists to keep up the fight.  This is also the same Syria that is demanding a timetable from the US regarding it's troop withdrawal from Iraq.\n\nAre we totally out of our minds, that we would do anything to trust these dirt bags?  Has our whole damn political system fallen apart?  Is this an example of how the democrats operate?   Damn, now I'm really worried!

ANSWER: Your question is somewhat ambiguous.  Canada maintains an embassy in Syria, as well as two consulates which serve Canadians needing service in both Syria and Cyprus.  The ambassador's name is Brian J. Davis, while the two consul's names are Mr. M. Hisham Ismail and Mrs. Eleni Chrysostomides.\n\nCanadian Embassy, Syria website:\nhttp://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/syria/menu-en.asp\n\nCanadian Consulate Information, Syria Districst:\nhttp://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/syria/consular-en.asp

From the Israeli standpoint it is a bad deal.  Hezbollah is just using the time to regroup.  They are doing a good job at the hearts and minds campaign.  Lebanon gets crap.  Hezbollah is a para-military group made up of many foreigners that is bolder and more mobile and professional than the Lebanese army.  What Lebanon get is weaker.  This is what you call being at loggerheads.  Which is basically what a war looks like.  Guess what?  I didn't say a word about the Palestinians did I.  What do they get, I don't know.  Nothing probably in the above scenario.

Yep, Coptic and Moronite Christians! PLus, you have to know that the country along with Syria have had an everlasting relation with France who exported, back in the time, its religion. It's exactly why here in the French West Indies, Guadeloupe, we have a regular immigration of Lebanese and Syrians who have a Saint to protect them: Saint Charbel.

Asalamu Alaikum\n\nMuslimah, I'm so impressed with your Muslim spirit.\n\nI'm a Saudi Muslim and I see that Sunni Muslims disagree with Shiites in Saudi Arabia, and Shiites and Sunni and Druz Muslims disagree on thousands of topics in Lebanon.\n\nYou can't find a religion that has no disagreements between its people.\n\nPeace

Lebanon has essentially been in civil war for a long time.  I doubt it will get any worse then it is today.\n\nIf you are talking about internal striff, then i think it will countinue and get better and worse over time.  If you are talking actuall war with other countries, then no i don't think anything will happen like that.

No reactions... Why ?\n\nBecause:\n\nIslamic countries do not help each others and often will try to harm one another politically or impose their respective point of views.\n\nIslamic countries talk more than they act.\n\nIslamic countries react more than initiate.\n\nOne blatant case to demonstrate all this:\n\nAll the Arabs nations that intented on invading Israel asked the Arab palestinians to leave until the invasion was over...\n\nNow out of the country, non of these nations are taking their responsibility to integrate the now "refugees"... Yet they are all using Palestine as an excuse to complain about their countries issues and constantly blames outside circumstances rather than look at themselves for their problems...\n\nWhere have most palestinian refugees been ? The West\nWho provoked the war that created the Palestinian camps? Arab Nations.\n\nIslamic nations will always unite to fight non-muslim intervention or will fight over shia and Sunni or ethnic tribal for honor related issues...

Syria is the fourth largest Islam city and one of the oldest cities in the world. It served as a battlefield for many wars. It is dusty but beautiful. The people are the nicest, warmest, most gentle people ever. It is one of the few places left on this earth that is not overrun or ruled by Western Pop Culture. It has the largest old shopping area in the middle east, and some consider it the best place to go in the region. The people are friendly and will go out of their way to make sure a guest is comfortable. There are many activites to do around Syria - things that are fun to do out of doors. People love living and working there!

Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah (and their supporter Syria) cannot be allowed to undermine the democratically elected Siniora government in Lebanon (and the Christians of the country) by killing off the political figures who dare voice their opinions against them.  They CANNOT be allowed to give themselves the power they so savagely seek.  Gemayel is one of the brave, one of the many who have died for the cause of a free Lebanon.  The international community should step in.  There should be a state of emergency called in the Lebanon.  This has to stop because I want my children to be able to return to visit their family members in a FREE Lebanon.  God have mercy upon the soul of Pierre Gemayel and all who have died for their dream of a free and beautiful Lebanon.

The Greek Turkish conflicts go back to the 1400's when the Ottoman turks invaded Greeks (under the Eastern Roman Empire aka Byzantine)and many ethnic conlficts since. \n\nIn Cyprus, the problem has to do with Cyprus (A Greek island, but autonomous from the Greek nation) having an ethnic Turkish minority. When the island was having revolts and many wanted to unify with Greece Turkey feared for the Turkish minority. In 1974 Turkey attacked the island and occupies even till today illegally 1/3 of the island! \n\nMost Greeks were made refugees in their own country and had to flee to the south side of the island. Many were killed, and many are missing even today. The Turkish invasion plan was a complete disaster, because it destroyed a lot of people and towns, villages, people, and infrastructure was firebombed and many were destroyed/killed.\n\n Following the invasion which the UN to this day does nothing, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was set up, which is internationally recognized only by the Turkish Republic and Azerbaijan. The Turkish government sent settlers into the territory to "Turkify" it and it has only made a bad situation worse to resolve.  The occupied side of Cyprus is a huge cost to Turkey, it is very underdeveloped and poor unlike the other side which is prospering. Although Turkish nationalists will disagree, even a Turkish member of the Foreign Ministry has admitted that it is a mistake to me privately. \n\nSo there is the dispute in Cyprus, the island has been divided for 31 years over an illegal invasion, which the whole world has sat back and done nothing about, and with every year that has past the situation only got more difficult to resolve.

You are 100% correct.\nWe must consider who is the first to point the finger at Syria on every occasion,  the USA and Israel.\nWho are the countries that constantly interfere in the local politics of Lebanon & Syria, - the USA and Israel.\nSyria has offered to sign a peace treaty with Israel for ten years if Israel gives it back its territory (the Golan) - no agreement from Israel.\n\nJohn Bolton stated at the UN yesterday "violence is no way to change goverments" this is an amazing statement from the USA spokesman as they are the only country that have and continue doing exactly that. \nWho gains from the de-stabilisation of Syria and Lebanon that both support the Palestinians claim for their land back (regeim change to get a friendly puppet govenment) - USA and Israel.

OK lets start by saying there is no tradition of godfathers & mafia in Lebanon, you must be confusing that with Italy, where there have been recent (and precedented) mafia killings.\n\nLebanon used to be a part of Syria and its a country which is not politically and racially unified. There are many ethnicities and religions that exist in Lebanon. Next to this, they have the biggest curse of being located in a region torn by wars and ethnic&religious tension. When these all blend with poverty and foreign influences, wars become inevitable.
