#1 I was curious how the Leb war wound down, so I'll share. From Wikipedia:

The Taif Agreement of 1989 marked the beginning of the end of the fighting. In January of 1989, a committee appointed by the Arab League began to formulate solutions to the conflict. In March 1991, parliament passed an amnesty law that pardoned all political crimes prior to its enactment.

I liked this point of view:

During the course of the fighting, alliances shifted rapidly and unpredictably: by the end of the war, nearly every party had allied with and subsequently betrayed every other party at least once.[citation needed]

Maybe the war ends when they get tired of betraying each other?
