Mothers Press Issues of War That Lebanese Want to Forget: Loved Ones Still Missing From Years of Conflict

Date: January 2, 2006
Author: Anthony Shadid
QUOTE: ...Lebanese society has yet to confront, much less resolve, the legacy of the most cataclysmic event in its modern history -- the 1975-90 civil war. Fifteen years later, that conflict is still shrouded in silence. Under a 1991 amnesty law, all but a handful of killings were placed beyond prosecution. History textbooks address nothing more recent than 1975. And many factional warlords serve in government, their portraits staring down on streets they once wrecked.
