When one tries to follow Lebanese politics, it is as if nothing of significance took place in Beirut, Tripoli, Baal Bek and the other cities and districts over since deep into the last century. The same name of political families and dynasties are heard now as in 2005, 1990 or even earlier. Maronite, Shiite and Sunni power brokers jockey for position and enjoy the forbidden fruits of corruption, while the country sinks into an economic and social abyss. What is in the cards for Israel’s poor and strife-torn neighbour to the North?
