AGAIN. THE RUMORS OF "CRACKS" IN HEZBOLLAH'S ARMOR??

As you can all see, I am staying on the topic of Lebanon and the tensions around it.

Ok, the concept of "tensions" inside the Hezbollah camp is not really earth shattering news.

Regardless of political or religious similarities, blood, especially in the Middle East, is far more powerful than any other level of "relationship".

The people of Ballebek Hermel are not that much different than any other community of "common folk" in the world.

What they strive for is a decent daily existence and safety for their loved ones.

Here is the problem in this town, and again it's like any other small, underdeveloped location in the world today, the poor are typically defenseless and those with the most firepower, in this case Hezbollah, well.... they call the shots.

Are the people mentioned in this story zelots for Hezbollah?

No!!

Do they need Hezbollah at times to keep order in their small part of the world?

Unfortunately yes!!!!

Now, if this possible "rift" is really leading to some attempt at political representation, then Hezbollah's leaders will be the first to tear it down.

The tragedy is simple.

The people who wish only to be left alone and not be dragged into a sectarian bloodbath between the Hezbollah / Shia and the Sunia radical groups will have to turn to arming themselves are those amongst them who will advocate such actions.

The Lebanese government is not capable of providing for these people and they all know.

These people, like most people in this world, just want a simple life, but Hezbollah are other radical elements who no one seems to be able to control will do what they always do... abuse these people and steal their men for the bloodbaths.. all in the name of a religion none of them truly understand.

Yes, blood is thicker than religion, but unarmed "blood / family " is no match for armed religious zealots.

The future for the people of Baalbek-Hermel is bleak as they slowly become yet more Pawns in the regional insanity.
