Lebanon Faces Risk of Return to Assassinations, Car Bombs, Street Clashes
2011-01-15
The London-based Sky News said "this is a worrying time" for Leb because of the country's many sectarian divisions.

It said the dangers of the current situation include the risk of a return to violent demonstrations, more liquidations, car booms and festivities on the streets.
Leb is also being plunged into deep political uncertainty with the collapse of the country's coalition government , Sky News' Middle East correspondent wrote.

He said when Leb is volatile and unstable, "there can be repercussions beyond its borders."

For instance, he went on to say, Israeli newspapers are full of commentary warning that trouble in Leb could lead to renewed conflict across its northern border.

Turns out no. It just means that you get brutalitarians as your leaders.
