If things spin out of control Hezbollah has the means -- weapons, organization, troops -- to easily take over the country. The LAF wouldn't stand a chance.

Reminds me of the Basij that attacked the Iranian demonstrators during the Green Revolution in 2010.. the scum of Iran society attacking students and the most educated and productive sector of the Iranian population courageously asking for freedom and democracy. Green Revolution happened 5 years after Cedar Revolution I. Today is Cedar Revolution II and Green Revolution II is around the corner to liberate the oppressed Iranian and Lebanese people from the Basij militia who cares only about rockets and belligerence.

This revolution can only find its soul when it sticks to principles and forgo all zuammas. The eternal principles of freedom, sovereignty, justice, independence and democracy. Hizbollah must be disarmed immediately to give Lebanon and the Shia community a chance for a decent life, restored dignity and economic prosperity.
