Where do the Christians in Lebanon figure in all of this?

[jveritas]

Unfortunately the Christians are divided. One side is pro-US and with the freely elected government of Lebanon and the other side led by General Aoun a person obsessed with becoming President is allying himself with Syria, Iran, and Hizballah hoping that they will make him President if they succeed in controlling the country.

They are split, the article states that most support the anti-Syrian side, along with the Sunnies (and presumably the Druze, who aren't mentioned). Other support the pro-Syrian, and Shiite, Hzb'Allah.
