...unclear exactly what could set off violence in Syria. But it should be kept in mind that Hizballah Secretary General Hasan Nasrallah was extremely close to Mughniyah.

Last week, Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir, the influential patriarch of the Maronite church, composed a list at France's behest of potential names from which the rival parliamentary blocs could select a President.

In the West Bank, shops sell DVDs of Iraqi insurgent attacks against U.S. troops and songs of praise for the Lebanese Hizballah militia leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah for withstanding Israel's siege of Lebanon last summer. The last words of suicide bombers, preserved by video cameras, are given play on local TV news. As a youngster, Omar threw stones at Israeli tanks and ran away; youngsters of the new generation seek to annihilate themselves as well as their...
