no matter how you split it up or cut it up, lebanon is different than almost any other country in the mena area (except israel) in that muslims are a clear minority group in lebanon, and shi'ites are a minority in a minority.

hezbollah has no democratic legitimacy and should not be ruling at all, let alone by force.

if you stand with democracy in lebanon, you stand against hezbollah, and it's a serious issue that needs serious addressing.
