Why Lebanon hasn't slipped into civil war

[..]

Again, why? For a number of reasons: memories of how bad the last civil war
was; a lessening of the power of ideology and the rise of new,
sect-crossing economic concerns; the absence of the Syrian troops who were
once a lightning rod; and the persistent efforts to contain and defuse
tensions that many Lebanese leaders themselves have undertaken.
