I know a couple people from Lebanon, and because of the recent assassination and my lack of knowledge in that part of the world, I asked him what that was all about. All I really knew is that they think some Syrian group was behind the attack. Anyways, he told me about an interesting conspiracy.
He said that since Lebanon has a pretty puny military, they actually like having the Syrians in there for a little bit of added protection. So I guess a theory going around is that the assassination might have been done by Israeli people, in the hope that Syria would be blamed and forced to leave Lebanon. Then, once their troops are all gone, Israel would be able to easily take over Lebanon.
Could this even be a plausible theory? Again, I know very little about the situations over there, so I may just be spouting garbage, but it seemed interesting to me.
