Can Hezbollah Go Straight?

By MICHAEL YOUNG

Published: March 9, 2005
Beirut, Lebanon — AT Syria's request, Lebanon's Hezbollah organized a huge demonstration in downtown Beirut yesterday, as a counterweight to weeks of anti-Syrian protests. The numbers notwithstanding, and despite the party's claim that the rally was not directed against the Lebanese opposition, Hezbollah will come to regret this moment, which has placed the party squarely athwart much of Lebanese society on the question of Syrian hegemony.


Good article. I too had trouble with Hezbollah's move yesterday. I decided they must be totally dependent on Syria for their funding.

I also didn't realize how powerful they were. That's the only item in this article with which I disagree. Hezbollah controls the Shia and they are the dominate population group in Lebanon. The Lebanese opposition group disagrees with them but so what? Hezbollah has the numbers.
