#1 The last thing Lebanon needed was an internal war between its armed forces and clandestine cells with links to al-Qaeda. The last thing Syria needed was to be blamed for the violence.

They need to remember that old saying:

Before things get worse, they have to get a whole lot more worse.

Yet it makes no sense for Syria to support a radical political and military Islamic group in Lebanon.

And then his ~~lips fell off~~ head exploded.

Radical political Islam has been a threat to Syria ever since the republic was created in 1932.

Which is why Syria exports it in such great quantities.

Simply put, such an alliance would backfire and result in violence within Syria, something that President Bashar al-Assad will not tolerate.

Tell that to the citizens of Hama in 1982.

It is always easy for the Lebanese to blame Syria.

Especially when Syria is always found holding the shit-stirring stick.

#2 It is always easy for the ~~MSM~~ Lebanese to ~~accept any ludicrous fascist lie as the truth~~ blame Syria.
