Guys, Open your eyes, Lebanon and Israel are paying the price of the Sunni-Shi'a struggle that should have been confined to their respective 'super-powers': KSA and Iran!
It is not the first time KSA uses subterfuge to move the bitter chalice away from their lips. Saddam fought Iran for them for 10 years.
This struggle should have not reached the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in the first place.
The $1BN will be accounted for in the Central Bank. Remains one question, who is going to put the $500 Million in his pocket? and is it going to be used as political money for a sunni resurgence after the Shi'a weakening resulting from current military operations? Would it be possibly used (or part of it) in strengthening the already present sunni network of Madrassas as in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and subsequently give a hatching ground for a new wave of pseudo-Qaeda in a few years?
