#1 The Lebanese government has demanded the handing over of Fatah Al Islam militants, many of whom are not Palestinian.

A Fatah Al Islam spokesman said the group would not hand over any of its fighters.

Looks like push is coming to shove. It's about time for the Palestinians to learn that you can't shit on everyone and everything in sight without people getting riled up. Lebanon really needs to reconsider if continuing autonomy for the camps is in their best interest.

Others here have more background on just how far along Muslim displacement has progressed in Lebanon's pluralistic society. Does Lebanon's economy rely upon the huge amounts of UN aid flowing into the camps? Are there any actual economic benefits to perpetuating the camps' role in the "Right to Return" charade, or is it merely a matter of Arab solidarity? Once a popular Mediterranean playground, they need to examine closely just how impoverished their Islamically run neighbors are before letting the situation deteriorate any further.

#3 banned from entering under a 1969 Arab agreement

Exactly who is going to enforce this agreement? Is Lebanon a soveriegn nation or not? If it is, it has the right to defend itself and if Baby Assad doesn't like it then maybe we could send him a candygram.

That's my point, Zenster. I envision resort hotels, wide sandy beaches, discoteques, surf shops, bikinis and jobs for the locals if they could only stop shooting at each other. What a bunch of morons.

#5 Ooops. I confess to hitting the submit button twice but the first time I got this message that said the web site had too many connections. Blame it on the vermin.

#6 ...which it is banned from entering under a 1969 Arab agreement.

So, technically, if you fire a ton of artillery rounds in there I guess you wouldn't be violating this sacred agreement?
