In case some are doubting your assessment, you called the development of events right on. Until the 2006 war, the Christian north and the Shia south had been historically leery of each other but when Israel carpet bombed the southern villages to empty them of their inhabitants, it was mostly the Christian north that sheltered the million Shia of the south and during that month, both groups discovered each other and became the best of friends. Now, about 80% of Lebanon is sympathetic to Hizbullah and believes that Hizbullah should not lay down its arms until Israel gets out of Lebanon and stops being a rogue state.
