The Lebanese army, even if its power were to grow bigger, is not a match for the Hezbollah militia. Also, its make-up is based on sectarian considerations, and it does not possess the means to command respect and impose its force, and consequently, the trend toward making Lebanon a center of conflict, whether on the part of Israel, Syria or Iran, are factors that are beyond analysis. This is because the surprises that occur in this country are not restricted to a particular view or the specific time frame for the crisis, and the causes for its break out, and the proof of that is the assassination of al-Hariri, which came in order to cause confusion and to give Hezbollah an arm to create a weak state that takes orders from it. Also, the rift among the Christians, and the negativity of the Sunnis, and the emergence of alliances that are more powerful than the allies of the past, all of these are factors could lead to the explosion of the situation to the advantage of an external player, and Syria is the one that is mostly involved in fomenting the coming chaos inside Lebanon, not just because it has lost a part of its territory by the establishment of the Lebanese state, but on account of a vengeance that lasted for more than half a century, when Beirut was at the root of a change in the Syrian regime through external means. Another thing is that the recent withdrawal of Syria from Lebanon, after the latter had been a source of revenue and an environment where it could lay out its objectives. Lebanon suffers from internal problems between the Shiites and the Sunnis and the Christians, and also it has turned into a playground for the conflict between Iran, Syria and Israel, and a stage for these parties to settle their differences and achieve their objectives and ambitions.
