Mr. Nassrallah is back to issuing his empty threats, warning that if 14 March do not accept all the opposition’s demands they will... “ACT”
Frankly, I am sick and tired of Hezbollah’s threats. I considers that 14 March have given more than its share of concessions. Let me refresh your memory: although March 14 have an absolute majority in the parliament but it agreed on a consensual president. They even accepted the army chief, General Suleiman’s, who was considered closer to the opposition than to March 14. And finally they even agreed to give up the absolute majority in the council of Ministers ( out of a total of 30 ministers: giving 7seven to the president, 10 to the opposition and only 14 to the parliamentary majority)
But no, Nassrallah wants more, and if he doesn’t get it he is threatening the Lebanese with civil unrest and other “divine” surprises. Yet five minutes later in his interview he claims that the opposition interests are only for Lebanon and its welfare!!!
I am simply fed up, and to paraphrase Joumblatt’s stament to Nassrallah: You want a blocking third in the government than you will have to take it by force! Over our dead bodies!

Unfortunatly, Nassrallah is bidding the Syrian demands and he's not going to back down. The Opposition is insisting on Veto power in order to stop the Tribunal. Because, although the court has been approved and all appear to be going well, the fact is that the Lebanese Government can stop it in its tracks and that's exactly what Syria wants.
The opposition wants the court stopped too. They dont want the facts to come out that they knew about and maybe unwillingly, aided the Syrians with the assassinations. A simple Veto by the ooposition can easily stop the 50% court funding which the Lebanese are responsible for.
