Lebanon to rebalance military with equal number of Sunni-Shia-Christian
By: Karim Tellawi
BEIRUT, Lebanon: The Lebanon government says officially
that about 40-percent of the troops in the 50,000 strong
national armed forces are Shia.
Apparently US and Israeli intel types say it's more like
60-percent, based on sources inside the Lebanese government.
The Lebanese government apparently really believes the 60
percent number as well, and is in fact preparing a program to
"rebalance" the armed forces, so that the three principal
communities in the country – Sunni, Shia, and Christian—will
each provide about a third of the troops, regardless of their
actual numbers in the population (believed to be 40 percent
Christian, 35 percent Shia, and 25 percent others, mostly
Sunni).

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
