You are assigning a lot of responsibility to the Lebanese government. From all I have read, it is weak, divided, impoverished, and incapable of doing anything. If they received the kind of aid that the US gives to Israel (figures I remember are $44 million a year for Lebanon and $2.5 billion a year for more than four times higher GDP per capital Israel), maybe they could build all those bomb shelters. Hopefully there is a Lebanese person out there somewhere who can explain the situation because I can only go by a few things I have read.
