My point was (1) that they always have anyway, and (2) that the whole "David v. Goliath" thing wears a little thin when you pull out the cruise missiles and laser-guided anti-tank weapons.

I think the protests achieved something, but progress is slow, and we seem to agree that the Lebanese government was not strong enough to get Hezbollah to disarm. Wrecking the country seems like a bad way to get a strong central government that Israel can deal with, though.

My issue is not that the Lebanese government was not strong enough actually to get Hezbollah to disarm, but that it had no interest in doing so. I think that's where we disagree.
