Anyway, the problem is that Hizballah is growing stronger by the minute, because no one is setting its limits. It is acting as a state within a state. The government did not remove its right to resist, but it's placing restrictions on its way of operations. The question in itself is flawed because the government also did not mention anything with the weapons, but Hizballah like the Syrians ties everything to its weapons.
The phone lines are apparently part of its weapons, which is an absolutely ridiculous argument, because the phone lines are simply not weapons. If you people actually want a true government to be built, you should know that the restrictions are important to keep it within the law. Hizballah did not ask the government if it could place these lines, which goes beyond its role as a resistance. Furthermore, the threats launched by Hizballah are a simple representation of how they hold the Lebanese state. They want a Lebanese state that is subservient to them and not the other way around. |
It's really amuzing how March 14 leaders insult our intelligence by claiming to support the Lebanese state or even the true concept of a state. But their support for the Lebanese state only appears when discussing the issue of the weapons of the Resistance. Other than that, those same leaders have shown nothing but utter contempt for the Lebanese state and for building true state institutions. Those sectarian and tribal leaders treat their regions as cantons for themselves and exercise unquestioning authority over what they consider their subjects. They refuse to allow any citizen to operate in their territory without their first having a vested interest in it and the state is not allowed to diminish these powers that they have. Jumblatt supporters went absolutely berzerk when Lahoud insisted that Beiteddine belongs to the Lebanese state and not to the Jumblatt family. Hariri supporters in FM regions demonstrate their absolute loyalty to Hariri and could care less about the Lebanese state. Moreover, they treat ministries as their own profit-making businesses with no regard whatsoever to the actual role of such ministries.
Let's be at least honest with ourselves. These March 14 circus freaks are not, nor have they ever been, interested in building a real state in Lebanon with real, functioning, efficient institutions. They are merely currently pursuing a policy dictated by the US, which is to dismantle the Resistance, because US policy is that our people are not allowed to resist Israel and its criminal, brutal war machine. These so-called leaders are mere slaves and collaborators, as their past and present have clearly demonstrated. This talk of preserving and protecting the Lebanese state and its sovereignty over its land is mere empty rhetoric aimed at giving a friendly face to their devious and treasonous actions. If anyone actually believes that the only thing standing in the way of a modern, efficient, sovereign Lebanese state is Hizballah, then they really need to get themselves checked in to the nearest mental institution.
