Lebanon - A possible example for a Palestine way?

[Roland]

How is living in Lebanon like? There was nothing new about Lebanon for quite some time, at least here. Could that be good news? Lebanon is AFAIK under the foot of Syria, can that be some example for a palestinian territory?

Well, they are rebuilding Beirut the fastest they can.. and arab tourists are flooding. But there is still a huge problem because the maronite is diminishing. Today 70 % are muslim and slowly the country will become like any else in the middle east.. poor, and dictatoric.. But at the moment the christians are many enough to keep a somehow democratic state.

But tensions is inbuilt as education is stronger amon christians whereas they are more likely to inherit important positions wich will anger the muslim majority..
