Robert Fisk has been ranging across the Middle East for thirty years now. He has reported on all the most significant events there-especially the long war in Lebanon-for the British press. In this interview with Jean-Pierre Perrin, this committed observer dissects the stormy relations between Lebanon & Syria. Convinced of Damascus' responsibility for the assassination of President Hariri, he also blames Iran for triggering the war between Israel & Hizbollah in the summer of 2006. According to Fisk, this demonstration of force had been very well prepared, & the leaders of the Shiite movement were well aware of what Israel's response would be. Today, Lebanon is fracturing along ethno-religious lines to the point where the specter of civil war is once again visible. This ethnic & religious fragmentation in Lebanon & also in Iraq is a fact of life, & the West, with its mania for categorizing everyone, is contributing involuntarily.
