"violate its central tenant"

ITYM 'tenet', not 'tenant'.

Wouldn't have nitpicked in someone else's journal except that this is one that's been bugging me extra strongly lately, and I've been seeing the same glitch made by lots of different people in the past week or so for some reason.

This is the first useful thing I've read on this subject yet, and makes clear some things people have been trying to explain coherently for years, not just the details of this current mess. Thank you.

Thank you for fleshing these things out. I agree with your additional analysis of Hizbullah and Lebanon and the Israeli withdrawal issue. I also remember the NPR interview. Not sure if 2-4 years is the right time frame, not knowing enough of the country. But certainly longer term than just a few weeks or even months for the Lebanese people to go from anger at Israel to anger at Hizbollah.
