| ShiÂ’ite and Sunni groups traded machine gun fire and grenades in Beirut on Tuesday, killing two people and wounding several others just blocks from a busy downtown packed with tourists. That's the Lebanon I remember |

| #4 I doubt the Sunni groups have similar access Posted by: lord garth Oh, I don't think so. I'm sure Egypt has found a way to get sophisticated weapons to the Sunnis in Lebanon. |

| #2 Typical Islamic shooting skills. Machine guns and grenades and they manage to kill only two (probably bystanders). |

| #1 I suspect that this is more significant than it appears. The Hezbollah are just as pushy to the Sunnis as they are to Israel. They want to totally control Lebanon, and to kick out everyone else. And they are supported in this by Iran via Alawite-controlled Syria. And the Sunni in the region are very aware of this fact. The Egyptians, especially, do not want to see a Shiite knife pointed at their border. |
