has the updates.
Up until today Hezbollah has modeled its "resistance" to the elected
government after the March 14 demonstations to oust the occupying
Syrian army. The March 14 movement, though, never did anything remotely
like this. That's because they are, for the most part, liberal and
democratic while Hezbollah is a Syrian-Iranian terrorist army. Today
should be a moment of clarity for the willfully obtuse.
Notice, also, that the violent clashes in the streets are mostly
between Sunnis and Shia, not between Christians and Shia. This is, and
was, entirely predictable. Those who think Hezbollah is a popular
movement with the support of Lebanon's Muslims as a whole should think
again.
