Why? It could be good. Very good actually. Remember that the greatest danger to Lebanon (that is Christian, Sunni, Druze and secular Shia Lebanese) is Hezbullah and Syria. The Army taking over could be a push to thwart a Hezbullah power grab.

It also gives Hezbullah the perfect reason to grab power too, remember that the Lebanese army is rife with Hezzbullah sympathy and infiltration.

Problem is that Hezbollah is for more efficient and battle ready than the Lebanon army. If a civil war starts, I’m afraid Hezbollah wins.

Why? It could be good. Very good actuallyExcept that this guy is a Hezbollah and Syrian ally, about to lose power to the anti-Syrian government. The questions are:
Will the army support the pro-Hezbollah coup.
Will the army fragment.
What will the government do?
What will Syria do??
What will Israel do??
Whay will the US do??
What will Iran do?
Will nuclear weapons be used?
