Why would either Turkey or Lebanon for that matter fear Iran? Sanity get me outa here.

You can stick YOUR argument back in dust bin and put a lid on it so it doesn't smell. As for the rest it's not even worthy of a response. Attempting to get mud stick to the wall it's not gonna work.

The third civil war resembles both the first and the second. With Iranian money and weapons, Hezbollah has built its own state-within-a-state in South Lebanon and South Beirut which is used as a base to wage war against Israel. Hezbollah also wishes to violently yank Lebanon from its current pro-Western alignment into the Syrian-Iranian axis. Roughly one-fourth of the population supports this agenda. No country on earth can withstand that kind of geopolitical tectonic pressure. For more than a year members of Hezbollah have tried unsuccessfully to topple the elected government with a minimal use of force, but their patience is at an end and they have turned to war.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Shiite Hezbollah supporters and the Lebanese government’s Sunni backers clashed with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades Thursday in battles that spread through Beirut’s streets soon after Hezbollah’s leader vowed to fight any attempt to disarm his men.

Turkey and Kuwait have already begun evacuating their citizens through Lebanon's northern border with Syria, the only open route out of the country. The road to Lebanon's airport has been blocked since Wednesday by Hizbollah supporters. Other land routes are cut off, and the Beirut port is also shut.

As offices in west Beirut, the heart of Sunni power in Lebanon, belonging to parliamentary leader Saad Hariri lay torched and bullet riddled, Hizbollah fighters encircled the government building and Hariri's residence, demanding the prime minister's resignation.

'This is an Iranian takeover of an Arab capital,' said a senior source inside Hariri's Qoreitem residence. 'Any Beirut government now knows that it lives under the barrel of the gun if it takes a decision against Iran.'

Hizbollah, which is armed and financed by Iran and is a strategic partner of Syria, has been leading opposition to the Sunni-led government, backed by the US, France and Saudi Arabia, having resigned from cabinet three months after its 'Divine Victory' in a month-long war with Israel in July 2006.
