Elias approach is more correct i believe, there are more sides to the story.
both of u agree that they are an asset, but..
as he said, it is a strategic asset that we shouldnt squander for no reason, that doesn't mean that all other lebanese must accept it as holy for that particular reason.
i for one have no problem right now with it, but i do understand the stress it is causing the other party. my only point being here is that they are being unreasonable with their exacerbated fears turned phobias and the way they are portraying this as a black and white matter as the acts that they pull off themselves are way worse than any condition that could arise from Hizbullah.
for instance, with Hizbullah we got the MoU to start defining the role of the arms, with them we got armed anarchist salafist militias in beirut and trablus while they demand that Hizbullah puts down his arms, that's an oxymoron.
with Hizbullah, we got probable route of discourse in the MoU concerning unresolved matters, with them we got constant accusations of treachery and backstabbing and endless weirdness.
with Hizbullah, we got an agreement that lebanon and syria should have normal relationships and embassies, for the others that only apply as long as there is an alawaite man in power in syria, as soon as that fact is gone, 3abd al halim al khadam can act vis-a-vis lebanon like hafez al assaad did and they would not be complaining.
it's all messed up, i understand their fear, but it is misplaced and worse they are the cause of greater fear than Hizbullah could possibly be in the near future.
for in the end, we don't have dozens of Hizbullah offices in achrafieh and metn and jounieh... we have dozens and dozens of Future Movements offices there.
as for the LF fear, they are insane, i don't bother with understanding their phobias.
