Who Are Lebanon’s Optimists?

According to this NYtimes report on Lebanon, the Sunnis and Christians are becoming weak, drawn and tired, whereas the Shias are upbeat and optimistic of a better tomorrow.

Lebanon is in the middle of a political crisis that is not just a matter of jockeying for power, but a fundamental realignment of authority here — and perhaps in the region. It is seen in the faces of those Sunnis and Christians who visit the Hariri memorial, nervous and drawn, and the confidence of those picking their way through the debris and destruction of the Shiite neighborhood, known as Dahiya.
