Seventy percent of whom? Jew hating Hizb sympathizers, methinks. If the Lebanese had the intestinal fortitude to rid their "blossoming democracy" of Hizb, they would have. Oh, wait. The United States of America must step in to every little French pissant conflict in the world. May the government, and people of Lebanon that brought this upon themselves perish. Life is tough, and even tougher when one is stupid.
70 percent voted against Hezbollah, to get Syria to withdraw.
Hezbollah got 20 percent on the ticket of keeping Syria in Lebanon.
With that kind of majority, Lebanon's elected government invited Hezbollah into the government, gave them a cabinet seat, and tried to convince them to disarm.
It is in response to the successful overtures of the elected Lebanon's government that Hezbollah had to use their weapons. It is their last gasp, their last chance to avoid irrelevence.
