I am curious as to why you would say "Neither side planned it. Neither side wanted it."
Nasrallah's (and Iran's) goal is a change of government in Beirut. They are close to getting it because of the recent murder of Gemayal (forgot first name) which brough the Lebanese government close to the constitutional requirement for the government to fall.
Additionally, Nasrallah does not fear a civil war. Indeed, given the resupply effort by Iran, the irrelevance of the UN forces, the weakness and divided loyalty of the Lebanese army and the fact that last summer Hezbollah managed to stand up to the Israeli Amry, I am tempted to say that he would like a civil war, because he feels he can win.
It's not rhetorical...why do you think this violence is unplanned and unwanted?
