	How it all began - A concise history of Lebanon
		In a 'Greater Lebanon', they were bound to be outnumbered by the Muslims of the coastal towns and their hinterlands, and by those of the Bekaa valley; and all the Christian communities together, in a 'Greater Lebanon', could at best amount to a bare majority.
		Lebanon, moreover, was relatively green, and could appear lush green - a veritable paradise - by contrast with the desert which began as one crossed the eastern borders from the Bekaa valley into Syria.
		All that Lebanon needed to be a success was political accord and an even social development among the different communities which had come to form its population and in the different regions it had come to comprise.

	The EU's relations with Lebanon - Overview
		Lebanon is a predominantly importing country characterized by substantial trade deficits, which are largely offset by net foreign income earnings, including capital inflows, remittances from the Lebanese diaspora and service earnings, namely tourism, banking and insurance.
		Lebanon submitted to the WTO Secretariat a foreign trade memorandum in May 2001, accompanied by a series of internal regulatory reform measures, such as the new customs law, in force since April 2001, which reduces tariff rates and establishes automated customs release procedures.
		Lebanon was urged to go further with its economic reforms, and to engage with the IMF, which is also a condition for EU macro-financial assistance.

		The current crisis owes its origin to the amendment of the Constitution in September 2004 which made it possible for Emile Lahoud, the Christian Maronite President, to be re-elected for an additional, but abbreviated, three-year term.

		With the rise of Shiite in Iraq, you have a crescent of 100 million Shiite extending from the Gulf all the way to Lebanon, sitting on nearly 40 percent of the known oil reserves.
		This is massive power with a massive number of people, with the most critical piece of real estate in the Middle East, that is Iran and Iraq...The Shiite rise represents almost a mortal danger to the Sunnis.
		So the battle in Lebanon today might seem as if it's just between Israel and Hezbollah but the truth of the matter is also between Shia and Sunni.

		In their eyes Lebanon was not threatened by external aggression, since the UAR, which had confined its activities to propaganda, was not a member of the Socialist bloc.
		Before the escalation of the crisis in early May, the U.S. government was forthcoming in its commitment to Chamoun's policies and even with regard to his quest for reelection.[40] This represented a low-risk strategy for Washington since political discontent had not erupted yet into an allout rebellion against the Chamoun regime.
		Soviet strategy toward the Lebanese crisis was similar to that which was adopted during the Suez and Syrian conflicts, its purpose being to force the West to recognize the Soviet presence and role in the region.

		While Israel initially held the Lebanese government responsible for the Hezbollah attacks due to Lebanon's failure to implement Resolution 1559 and disarm Hezbollah, Lebanon disavowed the raids, stating that the government of Lebanon did not condone them, and that Israel had its own history of disregarding inconvenient UN resolutions.
		Lebanon frequently pled for the United Nations Security Council to call for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
