Most Lebanese people I know, from every sect including the Shia, would have been perfectly happy if the Israelis bombed Syria after Hezbollah launched their attack. A large number of people in an Arabic country openly supporting an Israeli war against another Arab country would have been something to see. It would have changed forever some of the geopolitical dynamics in the Levant. - Michael Totten, by ref AS
hummm...
Lebanon is responsible for what happens on Lebanese soil, so there is a part of this that looks like the old blame-the-other routine.
Why don't "most Lebanese" propose bombing Syria (there would be plenty of support for that from a lot of people)? How many in the region still look to Israel to solve their problems? It's an odd dance, to say the least.
