Lebanese president declares state of emergency

The Lebanese President has declared a state of emergency and ordered the Army to take power of the government in order to avoid a Hizbullah takover hours before stepping down

They might be heading to another civil war like the one that happened during the eighties?

The reports I've heard said that the tension is not high enough for a full blown civil war. However if there are any skirmishes it could quickly escalate to that.

I thought they were coming to Annapolis next week to talk peace? I guess the Lebanese will sit this one out. Too bad, unless all are at peace, none can feel sure.
