This is a family feud that has nothing to do with politics.
I wish for a day when people stop using violence to solve their problems! Innocent victims have become dirt because of a fight over a piece of dirt.

I beg to differ, the majority of Lebanese are primitive and tribal. The simple example: The first 3 "smart" comments on this: They HAD to include a sect, they HAD to include politics and finally they HAD to sack each other out.

You deserve the crap you live in.

If this shocks you, wait till you read the report on Aline Skaf, Hannibal Gaddafi's wife, torturing the nanny of her kid with boiling water.

That tells you something about savagery in the Arab World. It takes a couple of generations of democracy and structured education for a people to start to become civilized. We haven't started yet.

This is a tragic event, my thoughts and prayters go to those involved. Please do not politicise it, even thought it highlights the tribal mentality that still dominates prts of the lebanese society.
