Another day and another bomb in Christian neighborhood. The Syrian intelligence service is sending a clear message to the fractious Lebanese that violence and uncertainty will be the rule if Syrian security forces are not in place throughout the country. Lebanon lacks an effective Army capable of taking control of the Hezbollah forces in place, who are protecting the Shia population. It is no coincidence that Syrian forces have withdrawn from key sites in Lebanon and the frequency of bombs against civilian targets, particularly in Christian neighborhoods is escalating. More to come.
