Lebanon in flames!

Well the strife between the Fatah militants holed up in the palestine refugee camp and the lebanese army seems to have continued onto its 13th day.the end does not seem to be near at all and if anything,it only seems to be very far away.recently a truce was declared between the opposing sides but that truce barely held on for one complete hour!
Things are degenerating fast into a full scale battle.i would not be all that suprised if the lebanese army makes arial attacks on the refugee camps as a preemptive measure.but the question on nearly everyone's mind is what about the refugees?what about the old women and children who are being caught in the middle of this war zone.they came to the refugee camp to be safe and i think that we can all agree that is not happening,not anytime soon anyway!

Lebanon on a simmering boil !

Lebanon is slowly but surely heading into the danger zone of a civil war as fresh clashes broke out between the lebanese army and the militant group Fatah islam.this islamic militant group is holed up in one of the many palestinian refugee camps in lebanon.ironically these camps were set up by the Lebanese for the palestinian refugees
fleeing as a result of Israel incursions.and now it seems that Lebanon may have bitten more than it could have chewed.what is worrying many of the security advisors of the current government is the rapid pace with which this new "intifadaa" is spreading across the multitude of refugee camps.it all started with the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr el-Bared,and recently a U.N convoy was hit as it was caught in the crossfire bewtween theLebanese army and the Fatah group.the third truce which was declared bewteen the two groups did not even last one whole hour before it was broken all over again.in all of this i should guess that Israel may be feeling a little smug as they had faced this militant groups many many times and Lebanon had always downplayed any objections the israeli's may have raised in the international fora vis-a-vis militancy!

Another blast in Baghdad!

This seems to go on again and again.trying to prevent such bomb attacks from happening is not going to be easy.but i think that the solution to the problem is tackling it at the groundroots rather than just building a bunker.events in baghdad are spiraling out of control and the fatalaties seem to be on the rise all over again.if the U.S as well as the other allied powers are not careful then we may end up having a full fledged sectarian war.it is sad that two sects belonging to the same religion can hate one another so much but then again,in christianity,the roman catholics and the protestants hate one another with the same intensity as it can be seen more clearly in Ireland.
Regarding Baghdad,we cannot simplify the problem.there are militants there who would like nothing better than to see a civil war break out and watch them tear the country apart.this is what the heads of both the communities must realise.they must realise that as more car bomns and attacks of sectarian nature take place,the militants are slowly but surely tearing Iraq apart and that they are winning the war,not the Iraq government or the sunnis or the shias or the Allied powers.That is the sad truth.so tackle the problem at the ground roots and make both the communities realise what is at stake.after all religious sentiments or false pride alone is not going to put the food on the table,is it?

Parliment in shambles!

Well it certainly seems that even the iraqi parliment is not safe from the suicide bombers.recetnly a suicide bomber blew himself up inside trhe iraqi parliment.i guess that this is what they mean by "blasted policies".
either way the iraqi security arrangements are in complete shambles as the iraqi parliment was supposedly to be under a high security zone.frankly,things are going from bad to worse in iraq!
