Is Lebanon having a constitutional crisis?

Question

Every man and his dog seems to have some say in what goes on within these "borders" except the government, who seem rather estranged from the whole process. Where does the Lebanese official administration stand on the proposed resolution?

Answer 1

There really isnt an official administration. They have officials that have voice before the UN on a global forum, but other than that their government is non existant.

Hezbollah has been, and continues to be the only true functioning ruling body in Lebanon, and it does not have the peoples best interests in mind in the least.

If the government were truely of any size of strenth it would have aided the UN and Israel in rooting out and destroying Hezbollah at the begining of this argument, but instead, because of how corrupt it is, they refused to aid in over throwing this group.

Answer 2

Their stand on the resolution is that they endorse it (they unanimously approved it), but they've made it known that they do have some problems with it, and they may attempt to make some amendments to the plan before they implement it.

The problem is that the government in Lebanon has much less power than it probably should, which is one reason why it's so hesitant to move against Hezbollah -- Hezbollah is likely better equipped to run and defend the country than the government is. The government has to be cautious not to anger Hezbollah, or they may be faced with a civil war.

Answer 3

yep...but i don't like war.
