Lebanon

Many Lebanese Americans share the surname "Thomas" due to historical factors, particularly the migration of Lebanese Christians in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, some immigrants adopted the name "Thomas" as an anglicized version of their original surname to facilitate assimilation into American society. Additionally, the name is also common among Maronite Christians, who often used biblical names, contributing to its prevalence within the Lebanese American community.

Ronald Reagan was the U.S. President and Amine Gemayel was the President of Lebanon.

It was in response to America's support for Israel, who many Palestinian Muslims blamed for the massacre of innocent civilians in the refuge camps of Sabra and Shatila. It was claimed that the Israeli army, stood by and watched while their allies the Lebanese Christian Phalangists entered the camps and shot unarmed men women and children. As Israel's main supporter and ally America was felt to be in some way responsible by many Palestinian groups. After the Israeli government established the Kahan Commission to investigate the massacre in 1983 it found that Israeli was indirectly responsible and Ariel Sharon was held to be personally responsible.

that makes absolutely perfect sense.

Hezbollah does much more posturing than actual fighting, but if we use the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War as an example for the tactics used by the paramilitary arm of Hezbollah we can see several general types of tactics. The primary means that they use to "attack" are raids on target facilities or positions and imprecise missile launches into enemy cities (often resulting exclusively in civilian casualties). Hezbollah never engages in forwards assaults or open marches. The majority of Hezbollah encounters with the enemy are defensive. They hide in civilian Lebanese villages, commandeer civilians' homes, and fight in plainclothes. Their primary strategy is to manipulate the Rules of Engagement in their favor. What this means is that they know that the Israeli military has strict orders to not fire on enemy civilians, so they use them and their property as cover. It is a particularly sickening idea to value the death of your enemy over the lives of the civilians you live with, but this is the core aspect of the Hezbollah Paramilitary policy.

A national census has not been conducted since 1932 in the country which counted 791,000 people. In 1988; The United Sates Central Intelligence Agency conducted a study on the contemporary distribution of Lebanon's main religious groups (Study# 715042; B00483 12-88). The estimated population of Lebanese was 2,228,000 with religious distribution as follow:

Shia 919,000 - 41%

Sunni 595,000 - 27%

Maronite 356,000 - 16%

Other Christians 205,000 - 9%

Druze 153,000 - 7%

But the matter of religious balance is a sensitive political issue. Some say that the current distribution is evenly divided with one third christians, one third shia, one third sunni and the remaining druze.

I do not believe in such predictions that are not based on reliable and accurate facts. Indeed, tsunamis and earthquakes cannot be predicted beause they are natural forces shaped by God. We know that science can explain nature but cannot know its thoughts. So, put in mind that no one except God knows the exact date of the next tsunami that might (or not) occur in lebanon.
