War talk stalks Beirut

The beaches are crowded, the restaurants full, but the Lebanese rumour mill talks of another war around the corner
.....Meanwhile beneath the political bickering a greater challenge may lie on the horizon. There is talk of "war shopping", of people storing up supplies in case growing Israeli rhetoric towards the country becomes a reality. Interestingly even Hariri stated recently that "We are neither against Iran, nor against Syria; we are only against Israel because it is our enemy."
