Hezbollah's End Agenda

Hezbollah is not mounting a coup. They do not want to control ALL of Lebanon. They have no interest in controlling state institutions.

Hezbollah has and wants to perpetuate its own government that acts as an overseer of the Lebanese government. The Lebanese government is there to prevent other sects from creating their own statelets, militarizing, and fighting Hezbollah. How could any other sect possibly question this system? This is the system that the Syrians, to whom Hezbollah was so thankful on 8 March 2005, so benificently provided to Lebanon.

As Hezbollah's actions have proven, state institutions mean nothing to them. The Army, police, and government are here to keep everyone else in order, as long as Hezbollah is allowed to act with impunity.

Hezbollah has no interest in ruling other sects or doing the day to day management of Lebanon. Their goal is simply to get whatever they want from the Lebanese state, which is exactly what has happened for the last few years. Of course, this means that no other sect or group gets to do what they want.

The Lebanese government and people (including the Shia) should never, according to Hezbollah, do anything that impinges on Hezbollah's actions, or which might cause negative repercussions to Hezbollah's allies in Syria and Iran.

If Hezbollah decides to take actions which negatively affect Lebanese citizens - for example, starting a war with Israel that creates massive destruction, all other Lebanese must keep their mouths shut and allow Hezbollah to do whatever it decides is the best route forward. After the war, Hezbollah will kindly rebuild Hezbollah infrastructure, provide social welfare to their most loyal supporters in the Shia sect, and maybe throw pennies at the rest of us. However, they will expect the rest of us not to complain about the war, destruction, or the pittance they provide for us after the war (if we are even alive), and blame everything that happened on the Zionist enemy and the American conspiracy against Lebanon, which are the only reasons why bad things happen here.

Hezbollah will keep down any uppity sect. Demographically, there may be more Sunnis than Shia in Lebanon. Sunni politicians may have more money, more international connections, more votes, and even a parliamentary majority, but they are never to consider confronting the divine Hezbollah. If they do, Hezbollah will take over their neighborhoods, burn down the houses of their parliamentarians, destroy their political and media outlets, insult them, and fully emasculate them.

Rights? Hezbollah will start a war if one of their supporters is fired from a bureaucratic position. Take that Constitution and Lebanese people!
