In a nutshell....

Over the past 15 years Lebanon engineered two miracles -- the miracle of reconstruction, which boasted Rafiq Al-Hariri as its symbol and champion, and the miracle of liberation, with Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah playing the leading role. Each complemented the other. Reconstruction could not have been achieved in the absence of resistance, and liberation could not have succeeded without reconstruction. Reconstruction provided the resistance with national unity, and the resistance provided the reconstruction with a deterrent.

It would be naïve to imagine that Israel has forgotten the day when it had to run away in shame, abandoning its dearest allies in Lebanon. All those who helped bring about that shame -- the Lebanese resistance, the Syrian and Lebanese regimes -- are targets for revenge. Israel's path is now open. It will try to destroy Lebanon's national cohesion and the Iranian-Syrian-Lebanese alliance.
