"So the airport is still closed..."

Gee. Ya think!?! "Lebanese Air 234, you are cleared to runway 36 via taxiway Mike. Please avoid the multiple craters and exploding bombs along your taxi route, and the last 8000 feet of runway 36 are closed due to large holes and unexploded ordinance. The first 75 feet are useable for now, provided your wingspan is less than 15 feet. Contact the tower on 121.5"

"However, you know, given the events of last night... of the past couple of days, actually, and what's considered a disproportionate response to Hezbollah's actions down south, it seems they are uniting against their common enemy."

Hezbollah and Syria are the common enemies of BOTH Lebanon and Israel. The people of Lebanon should rise up and rid themselves of their inefective government that allows terrorists to use their country for purposes not in their best interest. The Lebanese are not stupid, they are a proud and gracious people but after so many years of war perhaps apathy has set in.
