Northern Lebanon is where the Christian minority (Maronite Catholic) lives. I seriously doubt that they're sitting around cheering on hizb'allah.

"Polls done by US news agencies showed the following: 85% of Sunni Muslims, 81% of Christians, and 85% of Shias Muslims view Hezbollah as Lebanon's defenders." Source.

"Polls done by US news agencies showed the following: 85% of Sunni Muslims, 81% of Christians, and 85% of Shias Muslims view Hezbollah as Lebanon's defenders."

I went to the link. A few details that I noticed: (1) the source of the article was aljazeerra.com (2) the U.S. news agencies conducting the survey were not named. (3) the interview of a Maronite was conducted by the BBC, the same organization who earned the nickname "Baghdad Broadcasting Company" at the beginning of the Iraq war.

With all deference and respect, the cited source has little credibility.

That's an Al Jazeera poll. Look at the source linked for the source. No f'in way on Earth are the Chrisstians and Druze behind Hez. Hez is backed by Amal and all of the Shiites, and at least politically backed by the Aoun Alliance which gives them 58 parliamentary seats(of 128 I think).
