Lebanese Army steps warily into its role as peacekeeper

Lebanese Army steps warily into its role as peacekeeper - The Boston Globe: "Lebanese soldiers have been welcomed by Sunni Muslims and Christians in some parts of the region where they hadn't been stationed in decades, but Hezbollah supporters express open mistrust of the troops, and the troops themselves show no enthusiasm for their new role.

``We just want to go home,' griped a Lebanese private who would give only his first name, Mohammed, and who has spent 25 years in the army."
