Another proof

On the Sunni-Shi'ats struggle, came yesterday from Beirut university:

At least three people were killed and dozens were injured in the clashes before army troops backed by tanks and firing barrages of warning shots into the air dispersed most rioters. The military then declared Beirut's first curfew since 1996.
But the fallout reaches far beyond the final casualty count. The sudden melee, sparked by a cafeteria scuffle between pro-government Sunni Muslims and pro-Hezbollah Shiites, reinforced fears that Lebanon's confessional divides are breaking into violence as they did during the 1975-1990 civil war.


And the worst is yet to come.
