That's insane really...you don't really grasp the idea of having a central government, do you?

Hizbollah had every right to have that communication network, and had every right to defend what is theirs.
If you had watched Nasrallah's speech two days ago you would have understood that the network they had wasn't illegal at all. The Government knew of it long before then also but didn't say a thing about until now. Hizbollah used that network in the war against Israel, the Government knew about it, and did fuck all.
The Government this time had it very wrong, they did a couple of things they shouldn't have done, they rushed decisions, and they tried to cut down a communication network which had every right to be there in the first place, and they also removed a high ranked Airport official from his job for no reason at all.
If you own a store that sells for $1000 a day, you don't go and mess with the rival store in front of you who sells for $1000000 a day, especially if you have no fucking good reason to do so.
Hizbollah could have taken Beirut by storm if they wanted too, they were agressed. They instead went it, and took control of some media outlets which were for the Pro gov parties and gave them back to the Army. Today, there's army everywhere, but that's it. It's much more peaceful.
If anything, these last few days have shown us how the Government is much more run like a Militia than Hizbollah will ever be.
I almost never side with Hizbollah's decisions and actions, but this time, they had every right to do what they did.
Hopefully, that's the most action we'll see around here this summer.
