One of the "fair and balanced" columnists of the Daily Star: "If the Siniora government is toppled then Lebanon could be in for it. There would no doubt be increased political tension within the country, and with Israel, and major economic reform, the single most important obligation international donors have imposed on Lebanon, could be blocked by Hizbullah and its allies. There would be a massive flight of financial and human capital and the gains of the past six years could evaporate." "Gains of the past six years"? Are you kidding me? Are you talking about the debt here?
