Do these people have the intestinal fortitude for democracy? Seems like they work under the "hang on and maybe the crocodile will save you for last" system of governance.
Mostly what you have is the media reporting what one faction of the Lebanese, and Iran/Syria's proxy feel about it. Every so often, you'll hear form one of the large numbers of Christians or Druze (a hybrid offshoot of Islam and Christianity) think. Israel understands there are different factions, and apparently is limiting their attacks accordingly.
Keep in mind also, that Syria left a puppet high up in Lebanon's government as a condition of withdrawal.
