Something Fishy

[caption id="attachment_43" align="left" width="225" caption="Signing of the North Agreement: Mr. Hariri, Prime Minister Saniora and Sheikh Minkara"]Signing of the North Agreement: Mr. Hariri, Prime Minister Saniora and Sheikh Minkara[/caption]The North Lebanon powers signed a peace agreement. 30 years of hate and feud... now, they agreed on living in oeace. Why? Something fishy!

First: some indications.

(1) Egyptian authorities stressed that the situation in North is a cause for a civil war.
(2) Sarkozi and Ruler of Qatar criticized Syrian president, Bashar El Asad, that his comments about the instability in Northenr Lebanon are a violation to their agreement.
(3) Asad "authorized" the Lebanese army to move its strongest betallion from the south to the north.

Suddenly, Sheikh Saad El Hariri spends 3 days in the North to sign the accord. Would he be able to do it if the Syrian did not approve it? Did Sarkozi and Sheikh Hamad of Qatar push Asad to allow the peace to happen? Did Sheikh Harir know about this arm twisitng that made him choose this moment to make a move? Was Eid, the Alawite Leader, requested by Asad to sign the agreement?

Maybe. If this is the case, and since all the arms are still intact, will there be a renewal of feud in the near future?

Anyaws, the move was in the roght direction and for the good of the country. Clearly Hariri and Siniora emerged as winners... while Sheikh Monkara proved to be a sound leader... is he the next Mufti of all Lebanon?
