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. That's true but Syrian involvement in Lebanese affairs is nothing new. In fact, when Syria was forced to pull its troops out of Lebanon, why didn't Hezbollah refuse to participate in the gov't at that time as a form of protest? What has changed that Hezbollah is asking for a bigger share of cabinet posts? What makes Hezbollah think a greater share of the Lebanese population is sypathetic to it post war as opposed to pre war?
