Your comment above fails to recognize that until the Israeli invasion which failed to accomplish what it set out to do, the Lebanese democracy was working albeit imperfectly. It's the Israeli failure that led to the strengthening of Hezbollah and subsequent imbalance in the gov't which is threatening the fragile Lebanese democracy.

In the years to come while you all are trying to spin it that Israel had nothing to do with the collapse of the Lebanese democracy, I will be teaching thousands of students the opposite, or in other words, the truth.


Before you start teaching you should educate yourself. Hezbollah pulled their six ministers out of the Lebanese government because they don't want the Lebanese government to approve the UN investigation into the death of Hariri, because it will likely point to the Syrian government, with potentially significant repurcussions for Assad in Syria. In other words, the current turmoil in Lebanon has almost nothing to do with the Israeli bombing of a few months ago - its about not shining a light on Syria's involvement in Lebanon.
