"So why hasn't LEBABON itself stopped the rocket attacks on Israel? "

There are no political forces inside Lebanon strong enough or willing enough to force Hezbollah to disarm.
Hezbollah's political strength based on support from Shia community has forced them to be a part of the Lebanese Govt.

One Lebanese blogger described the Sunnis as 'coastal merchants' who are cowards who wont fight anybody. The current PM is a Sunni, a compromise candidate, who wont rock the boat vis a vis Hezbollah, and will instinctively be craven to terrorists' games. Christians are a minority. The anti-Syrian Cedar Revolution alliance got fractured in the elections and Syria has its friends running many things ...
Disarming Hezbollah can only happen from outside. we are too busy first getting Syria to account for hariri's death to force implementation.

THAT'S why nothing was done.
