Let Lebanese, Not Palestinians, Rule Lebanon

Excellent article! This on-going charade has to stop. No one can tolerate a stranger coming into his/her house and proclaming self autonomous rule over parts of that dwelling.

Syria is now out. The lands should be reclaimed and all 'refugees' sent to southern Lebanon to live with their Hizbollah 'brothers'! Once they're placed in ONE (not 2,3,4...) camp, they would experience their vulnerabilities and weaknesses without the ability to use human shields as a 'weapon' against Israel! Then, and only then, waging a war against Israel would be a confirmation of their self-destructive way of life!

Give them a million dollars in aid and what do they do? Buy weapons, keep the population poor and living in 'slums' while, simultaneously, begging the International community for food and medical supplies. Wow! Give me/us a break and, to reiterate Norm's comment, get out of Lebanon!
