Lebanon's opposition remain divided over election alliances

As I wrote in an article for al-Sharq al-Awsat's magazine, al-Qadaya al-'Alamiyya, which should be out by now, the only thing keeping the opposition together was Syria. The Syria withdrawal has the predictable effect of revealing all of the inherent contradictions and tensions. The real loose cannnon in the opposition of Michel 'Aun, who may be much beloved in some circles but he has penchant for badly overplaying his hand.
