New Iranian attempt to get hands on Lebanon

Once again, Iran is trying to get its hands on Lebanon, while the Syrian regime collapses. From this standpoint, it is logical to wonder what is going on in the country these days. Is it really important to accept the resignation of an insignificant Minister of an insignificant government formed by the Iranian Hezbollah for the benefit of the demising Syrian regime? Is it really important to try to impose the lessons of ‘resistance’ on Lebanese students at a time when the Lebanese people are resisting the culture of death which Iran is trying to spread? Perhaps the answer is twofold. The first is that Lebanon is now witnessing a campaign waged by Hezbollah to have full control on the decision. Hezbollah, which follows Iran, was forced to nominate a Christian Minister.  This gives a hint as to the direction  Iranian politics will take  after the fall of the Syrian regime.This is a first for Lebanon. Since 2005, when Syrian troops left Lebanon followingt  the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and his associates, Hezbollah  imposed Shiite ministers on the Lebanese Shiites as well as the rest of the public. It however was not insolent enough to impose a Christian minister on the Christians in particular and the Lebanese in general. What is clear is that after Iran lost hope of keeping control on Syria, it needed to hold the Lebanese card  even tighter.The second part of the answer lies in the fact  that Lebanon is resisting.  It is especially resistant to attempts to  get it embroiled in the Syrian crisis. Basically, at the moment Lebanon is stuck in a loop imposed from outside. However, we have to remember that the crisis is in Syria, not in Lebanon. It is both the crisis of a regime and of an identity, and causing a crisis in Lebanon would not help resolve the one in Syria. Sooner or later the Syrian regime and whoever supports it will find out that nothing can save it. The problem of the regime is with its own people in the first place. Is there a system in the world able to suppress its people forever? If that was possible, the Soviet Union would still exist, and East European countries would still be enjoying the pros of socialism. What the Lebanese people should understand is that Hezbollah's imposition of Ministers will not influence the government. Even Hezbollah’s attempt to impose a proxy minister in Lebanon through  the appointment of General Michel Aoun, shouldn’t bother the Lebanese. Only the losers who belong to the French youth movement of 1968 pay attention to such things. They are the same people who are still trying to change the world by throwing stones at the police and destroying the streets of their city. The Paris of 1968 is the only place that fits the ministers who belong to the school of Michel Aoun and who learned nothing from the books they read. Clearly, reading is quite different from understanding what is going on in the world. Lebanon’s problem is somewhere else. Lebanon's major problem is being a neighbour of the Syrian regime that has been practising weapons smuggling operations on its soil for 40 years, while inciting sectarian strife in the country.  Since the Cairo Agreement in 1969, Lebanon has held its own.  If there was fragility in the country, it would have to be attributed to the Syrian regime. Lebanon doesn’t need to learn from anyone; neither  from the Syrian regime nor from Hezbollah, and even less from the remnants of the Syrian-Lebanese security system which is responsible for dozens of crimes committed on its territory and for targeting the  honourable Lebanese people who refused to be agents of Israel, either indirectly or directly. It doesn’t matter whether the current Lebanese government remains or leaves. What matters is the change Syria will be experiencing sooner or later. In the end, a country like Syria cannot be controlled by a family which promotes  flimsy, rhetorical slogans that have nothing to do with reality. Such slogans can be used to suppress and humiliate people for a year or even for 40 years. But it is inevitable  that judgement day will  come. On that day, people will ask the regime if it is able to solve the country's problems other than resorting to repression and brutality. Again, it is improbable that Lebanon will teach a lesson to others. But on the other hand, it is improbable that others will ever be able to teach Lebanon. Lebanon will put up with this government for a few more months. It will bear it until it becomes clear that  building on a falsehood is no better than building on sand. Who would have believed that   Lebanon would have witnessed  the day that  Syrian forces would leave its land? Who would have believed that the Arabs would take such a courageous stand against the Syrian regime which was blackmailing and threatening them with its alliance with Iran?
