What I don't understand in this entire fiasco is why the Lebanese Government is not taking advantage of this situation to properly arm and train his army to rid Lebanon of Hezbollah, Iran, and Syria once and for all. Then Lebanon will also be rid of Israel one and for all.
Someone in that Govt. needs to grow a pair or otherwise get the hell out the way.
It's because Hezbollah controls the Lebanese government, perhaps not visibly, but by terror.
The Lebanese government, as well as the army, has been seriously infiltrated and intimidated through assassination and political treachery:
"Hezbollah’s plan for the Lebanese Army is to drag it to a fight with Israel, as a way to destroy it. For the past 16 years Syria and Hezbollah have penetrated the Lebanese Army and installed their followers at various positions. For example, the command of the southern command, the officers in charge of the southern suburb of Beirut, the Murabb’a al amni (security zone for Nasrallah) and many offices in the second bureau are in the hands of Shiite officers linked to Hezbollah. Syria’s allies including the Hezb and Amal can count on 20% influence within the institution. The commander in chief, General Michel Sleiman is neutral, with possibilities of shifts to either side. The head of the military intelligence, a Christian, follows Lahoud's orders. The power map inside the Army keeps changing, but at the core of this institution, most officers are pro-Lebanese, close to the West. If Hezbollah pushes the regular troop into battle against Israel, the Army may split."
Part of the problem is Hizballah is part of the Lebanese Government. Syria continues viewing Lebanon as 'Greater Syria' plus with terrorist cohort Iran, arm and train the Hizballah killers keeping Lebanon in chaos, and just when the economic situation was looking more favorable for Lebanon, the Islamic enemy triggers yet another war, with marching orders directly from Tehran.
