The Syrian Civil War has already spread considerably across the border into neighboring Lebanon, and looks to do even more today, with Syrian officials threatening military strikes on rebel targets inside Lebanon if the Lebanese Army doesn’t attack them first.
The Lebanese government is at odds with the rebels but the nation’s military is small and mostly avoids conflict when possible. Hezbollah’s own militia, on the other hand, has been openly fighting Syrian rebels along the border. Hezbollah is a member of the Lebanese government, and a close ally of Syria’s.
The danger is not so much the physical Syrian attacks on Lebanese soil, since the rebels are mostly set up in a no-man’s land of camps along the border, but rather the damaging effect it will have on sectarian relations in Lebanon, already strained by the war.
The rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) has been trying to fuel Sunni insurrections in northern Lebanon, fostering fighting in the city of Tripoli. The addition of Syrian government attacks could further polarize relations in the nation and set the stage for a sectarian civil war in Lebanon as well.
It was the Syrian government who brought peace to Lebanon.., it was the Syrian government which left the shattered and broken Lebanon by bringing to the nation the peace that lebanon deserved and deserves now…, the very same terrorist was defeated by the Syrian army in Lebanon.., now it is the very same terrorist supported by Saudis and UAE, the USA and EU wanting to create another disastrous time for the Lebanese again.., USA, Israel- England-EU are waiting for such time to find a path to get involved in this war created by Hillary Clinton.., the Saudis.., the English and French Neo fascism and these terrorists helping out.

"You have probably never heard of them, but for decades the Sudairi have been the world’s richest political organization."
"In early 2010, Bandar staged a coup to overthrow King Abdullah and to place his father, Sultan, on the throne. The plot was discovered and Bandar left in disgrace without however losing his official titles. But in late 2010, the declining health of the king and his surgery gave the Sudairi the upper hand and they engineered Bandar’s comeback with the support of the Obama Administration."
"Nobel Peace Prize Muhammad Al-Baradei, whom the Muslim Brotherhood opted as a spokesman during the revolution to give themselves a more liberal image, was physically assaulted by the same Brothers during the constitutional referendum and was ejected from the political scene."
"In this context, violent attacks were perpetrated against religious minorities. Thus two Coptic churches were burned. Far from punishing the aggressors, the Prime Minister offered them a guarantee: he dismissed the governor that he had appointed in the province of Qenna, the respected General Imad Mikhael, because he is a Coptic Christian and not a Sunni Muslim."
"In Libya, the Sudairi transferred armed fighters into Cyrenaica pending the green light from France and Britain to start the insurrection against the government of Tripoli. They are the ones who distributed weapons and the red-black-green star and crescent flags, symbols of the Senoussi monarchy. Their goal is to get rid of troublemaker Gaddafi and restore Prince Mohammed on the throne of what was once the United Kingdom of Libya."
"The Sudairi convinced the king of Bahrain to bloodily crush the hopes of the population.

Guarantor of the established order, Prince Nayef has been the implacable Saudi Minister of the Interior and Information for the past 41 years.
On 13 March, U.S. Secretary of Defence Robert Gates arrived in Manama to initiate the coordination of operations, which began with the entry of Saudi special forces, known as “Nayef Eagles”, under the command of Prince Nayef. Within days, all the symbols of protest were destroyed, including the public monument erected in Pearl Square. Hundreds of people died or went missing. Torture, which had been abandoned for almost a decade, was again widespread. Doctors and nurses who treated injured protesters were arrested in their hospitals, detained incommunicado, and brought before military tribunals."
"In early February, when the country had yet to experience any demonstration, a page titled “The Syrian Revolution 2011” was created on Facebook. It called for a "Day of Wrath” on Friday 4; the call was relayed by Al Jazeera, but did not resonate anywhere. Al Jazeera deplored the lack of reaction and stigmatized Syria as the “kingdom of silence” (sic)."
"President Bashar Al-Assad then intervened to punish the police and the governor – a cousin whom the President had appointed to Deraa, far from the capital, to keep him out of sight. An investigation was opened to shed light on the police killings. The officials responsible for the violence have been indicted and put under bail. Ministers have apologized and offered condolences to the victims’ families on behalf of the government, gestures which have been publicly accepted.
Everything should have returned to normal, but suddenly masked snipers stationed on rooftops fired on both the crowd and at police, plunging the city into chaos."
"Specifically, Mohammed Al-Sha’ar, the new interior minister, called for anyone who was involed in the riots to report voluntarily to the police and be granted amnesty in exchange for complete cooperation. Over 1,100 people responded. Within days, the principal conduits were dismantled and many weapons caches seized. After five weeks of violence, calm slowly returned to almost all the troubled cities."
"At any rate, the prize for lying goes to Al Jazeera. The network went so far as to present images of a demonstration of 40,000 people in Moscow calling for the end of Russia’s support for Syria. It was actually footage shot during the annual May 1 celebrations, in which the network had planted actors to make fake statements."
"To facilitate this makeover, Washington has announced the official death of Osama bin Laden. With their father figure gone, the mercenaries of Prince Bandar can be mobilized under a new banner.
This redistribution of roles is accompanied by a game of musical chairs in Washington."
It is important to find out which outside powers are backing the insurgents operating out of Lebanon's no-man's-land along the Syrian border.
