Pride in Hizballah Fades as More Lebanese Question War's Toll
[Bloomberg] Daniel Williams - Pride among Lebanese in surviving the war with Israel has given way to questioning why it all happened, with measures of blame heaped on Hizballah, the Shiite Muslim militia that triggered the conflict. "Do I have to pay for someone else's adventure?'' asked Abdel Rahman Soubri, 52, a Sunni Muslim construction worker in Haret Hreik, a heavily bombed, mostly Shiite district of Beirut. "Doesn't Hizballah ever get tired of shooting?'' Such views among the Lebanese public are calling into question Hizballah's future place in Lebanon's political landscape.
