Ignoring for a moment United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559,
a resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on September 2, 2004,
which called on all Lebanese militias (including Hezbollah) to disband
consider the following:
If one of the major political and armed parties of the Mexican government fired missiles
at and into the United States continuously, destroying and killing civilians,
and also murdered and threatened US citizens day after day by other means,
and then finally captured and held hostage two US soldiers,
would you consider THAT an act of War?

Those "Syrian Workers" looked like a group of some very fit, well groomed military age men, carrying a lot of "personal effects", to my untrained eye.

My point is it's NOT the Lebanese goverment, or even the Lebanese people. From what I've read on this no one outside of Syria, and Iran knew this was going to happen.

And just who was going to make them? Remember at that time Syria ruled Lebanon, and they still do have a great deal of influence through their security service and Hezbollah.
