The reason is far more simple than you might realize ~ the majority of the population in Lebanon are Shia, as are the members of Hizbollah.

Used to be Shia were only 35% but they've upped their share substantially over the last 50 years.

Folks talking about the government of Lebanon are faking it ~ they know that the only government in Lebanon is Hizbollah.

The "moderate Moslems" in Lebanon are already fleeing the country.

If Lebanon has a force capable of fighting, why didn't they use it to disarm Hezbollah, as they had promised to do?

So much for "moderate" Lebanon.

Then watch Syria & Iran get pulled in, etc. Maybe Newt is right - we could be looking at the beginning of WWIII.

Actually, to speak out against Iran, Syria, Hizbollah, or Muslim militancy in general will buy you a nice new rubber suit in Lebanon.
