How can the crisis in Lebanon be overcome?


Lebanon is a deeply divided country. They are divided by religious affiliation (Islam Shia, Islam Sunni and Christian), by class and education. The only respected and uniting force in Lebanon is their military. The only solution I could think of is for Iran and Syria to stop meddling with the internal Lebanese affairs. The UN, EU and US should help strengthen the Lebanese government so as not allow a terror organization forming a de factor state within the state. Of course this would never be achieved unless the Lebanese people unite and make a stand for their country.

The picture of child holding the picture of the deposed terror leader is very disturbing. I wouldn’t be surprised if 20 years from now that child would become radical.
