"It's Christmas. C'est Noel

This is one of the French-English Christmas songs sung during Christmas time in Lebanon.

Nothing about this country is singular. Even Christmas songs speak three languages. I know that singularity is a false precept, but Lebanon embellishes in its diversity.

The price is high: 

1. Christians in this country have a deep seeded fear Muslims will force them out of the region hence making the christian population in Lebanon null. This was one of the major causes of the Lebanese Civil-War. 
2. Sunni Muslims are feeling threatened by the Shiite population and its unnerving support of the Syrian regime which the Sunni's argue has stifled the economy and imperialised the Lebanese people for years. Not to forget that the hostilities between Hizballah's weapons and the Sunni's demand for a liberal economy creates clashes between the two sects. (Syria and Iran support Hizballah's anti-Israel efforts.) Christians are split between the two Muslim sects: Shiites and Sunnis. Both of which are from the same religion. 
3. Druze, Allawites, Armenians, Kurds, Leftists and Independents are all divided along the Sunni/Shiite divide. 

The country is in an utter stalemate. There is no government, because as the Syrians wage war on their people the Lebanese are divided between waging war and disavowing the Syrian government. 

Hizballah doesn't want to take part in a government that has members who are hostile to its Syrian efforts. This may result in a need for compromises they aren't willing to make. With a stalemate they can act as they please without the voice of the opposition claiming there demands. 

Sunni's and there supporters are not willing to form a government with a military force separate from that of the nations waging war in another country. 

Both realize that if a government were formed than the fighting in Syria might be spilled over into Lebanon with Hizballahs actions already creating tensions in the country.

Hizballah has already threatened the Future Movement (the Sunni bloc) with war as the Sunni leaders are not quiet about there disapproval. 

Hizballah has lost a lot of support in the region. 

All in all its a mess in Lebanon! 

In light of the Christmas Spirit, I thought now would be the right time for a little: 

falll all llalll alll la.. la.. la.. And maybe after that some peace.
