I doubt that Hezbollah would be able to dictate Iranian policies to the rest of Lebanon. Syria, for example, is more or less secular.


Hardly matters, as Syria is now Iran's obedient client state.

And when discussing a battlefield, the actual troops and reserves available to the battle seem a whole lot more relevant than big discussions of how big the population is here or there. How many Hizb. fighters are there? How many reserves do they have? Ditto for Israel? How about weapons and strategy?

You can talk about population trends ten, twenty years out if you like, but I'm talking about a current battle.
