As noticed in many articles, Lebanon was fought by a writer for reasons I don’t understand, probably he doesn’t either. The real truth of Lebanon started out when it gained its independence from France in 1943. It quickly boomed, meaning from a country being occupied to independent, as a well known state.
Unluckily, Lebanon came to be surrounded by Arab nations, whom are greedy in more than one way. And just before the “so called writer” comments on my “delusional nationalism”, there is proof on what I am saying which came out just yesterday. It was from a Syrian newspaper, which made rumors that most tourists who are coming to visit Lebanon are terrorists or Al Qaeda members.
And as everyone noticed, Lebanon’s tourism was the best in more than 10 years, with more than 2 million tourists. Why would Syria have rumors written on Lebanon? The Lebanese Minister of Tourism mentioned a couple of days ago that Lebanon was voted to be the leading touristic country in the Middle East for the next two years. Though it was voted, it was fought harshly by most Arab nations, being Syria, Jordan, UAE etc.
The point I am trying to make here is that Lebanon cannot be explained if it is looked at by only the politicians. Politicians in Lebanon are pets of most powerful countries, ofcourse more powerful than the 10,450 km squared Lebanon. You can see the real Lebanon by looking at its people. The country had 15 year long war, where ALL nations fought on in Lebanese land. Soldiers from Israel, Syria, Palestine, USA, Iraq.
Where rockets were brought from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Israel. For what? For the mistakes politicians did? Yes, big time. But why Lebanon? Is it because of its important geography, or beautiful land? Why didnt all these armies fight in the war on Kuwait? Or Iraq? Or Palestine? Why should Lebanese soil take the price because Syrians have the Golan Heights to be freed from Israel? Why should Lebanon care if the Palestinians go back or not? Humanity yes, but not fighting Israel in Lebanon! Lebanese politicians are pigs, garbage yes.
But not the Lebanese, not Lebanon. Lebanese culture is totally different than Syrian, Palestinian, Iraqi etc. Lebanese are known for there Arabic, French, English, Armenian and Spanish. Look at other neighboring nations. What languages do they speak but Arabic? The wikipedia always helps, if not look it up! It is definitely not “national delusion”, if it was and if Lebanon really wasn’t a country, then why is it being fought from neighboring countries?
Why do Lebanese have the best jobs overseas? The questions need research to be answered, and hopefully the so called writer can read some history before calling the Lebanese the “national delusionists”.

Hezbollah and Lebanon just happen to be a geographical correlation.
But it is also doubtful that Ahmadinejad will give the Hezbollah a nuclear bomb should Iran be able to fashion one in the near future. Armed groups are too undisciplined.
