"Your violence, your weapons, your murders will not deters us! no matter what how many atrocities Hezbollah commits, we will uphold the values of democracy, freedom and moderation.
Hezbollah now has a problem with ALL of Lebanon and not only with the government! Hezbollah wants to impose its own views and values on all the Lebanese, without any discussion. And every person who oppose Hezbollah is to be brandished a traitor and criminal. But no matter how many Hezbollah kills, how many streets they invade, and houses they destroy or how many TV station they close down and burn, WE WILL REFUSE TO BOW DOWN!!! and we will stand fast.
What is Hezbollah doing in Beirut, wasn't its weapons only to be used against Israel and NEVER internally? Has Down Town became part of Israel? What is Hezbollah doing in Beirut, killing civilians, burning TV station and educational foundations?
We will not accept Hezbollah to continue like that, it is a militia now, and its weapons should be the subject of a serious dialog between the Lebanese.
The solution is simple: the army takes control of the streets and arbitrate on the two problematic decision the government took, then we elect a President and he heads the dialog between all parties. Then we will form a national unity government in which the majority will not have the power to unilaterally take decisions and in which the opposition will not be able to unilaterally impeded any decision making."
Thus our brave Prime Minster, Fouad Sinioura spoke, while surrounded by Hezbollah militia.
The lines are set, Hezbollah can either stop their military uprising or they can further dig a bottomless pit from which they will never come out...
Tomorrow we will all stand in the streets holding our heads high, and our Lebanese flags higher still... Tomorrow at noone we will heed the call of our Prime Minster...

I don't see how you say Sinioura came out strong here. From where I stand, Hezbolla got everything it demanded, and it also has the army on its side now. Hezbolla gets to keep all its weapons and communication system, they get their man back at the airport, and the army refuses to carry out the government's decisions against them even though they're illegal. From where I stand, Hezbolla has won, clear and cut. They imposed their will on the army and Sinioura's government, who can speak but cannot do.
easy answer
hezbollah now are officialy a militia. and to any Beirut citizens, and any Lebanese who truly witnessed what HA did to Beirut Nassrallah became just a thug in chief, controlling a bunch of militiamen...
while Siniora is now the hope and true statesman in our country
1. "officially a militia" - so what? they still get whatever they want. I don't think they care what you call them; they have shown they can impose their will on Lebanon, and do it very easily.
2. Sinioura the true stateman? what kind of stateman is he if he can't run any policy whatsoever? Even his own army doesn't care what he says.
I think Bob is right. Seniora acted very cool, very restraint, and left HA to fall into its own pit.
Now it is very clear to all Lebanese, that HA turned its weapons internally. On the long run this has much more effect than some official in the airport or the communication network.
I fail to see the point here. I don't think Hezbolla cares much about how Sunnis and Christians and Druze see it anymore - at least not as much as they used to.
Sinioura didn't act cool, he acted out of imposition. He acted like a man who can say but can't do. He said very harsh words, he made decisions, but couldn't act on them. Not because he didn't want to, or changed his mind and decided not to.
He wanted to, very much, but couldn't. He can't deliver, and Hezbolla imposed their will on him.
