More on Sunday

I suppose it is an indication of the speed of change in this event that I did not mention the surprising events of yesterday in my sunday update. I spend so much time reading about them that they become old news very quickly.

There were two precipitating events for all of this.
1. The government decided to investigate Hizbollah's private communication system.
2. The government decided to remove the airport security head because of his close ties to Hizbollah.

In his speech on Saturday, the Prime Minister said that he would allow the army to review those two decisions.
About half an hour later, the army announced that both decisions had been rescinded.
Hizbollah started disappearing from the streets of Hamra shortly after that.
But serious problems remain.
