The story: Lebanon NOT consumed by civil war...

If it flies like a Civil War, looks like a civil war and quacks like a civil war .... it cannot be "harmony" ... Helena Cobban wonders the same, here
".... So in Lebanon, it is indeed quite possible that the country won't get a new president or a new president before the scheduled holding of parliamentary elections next year. In which case, the main job for the sitting MPs will be to draw up the rules for that election. (A bizarre system, eh?) It will be interesting to see whether an international community in which George W. Bush is no longer a leading actor will be one that supports Lebanon at last having a strong, fair, and non-sectarian election system....."
