trained lebanese armed forces would lose to hizbullah hizbullah's just the most powerful militia the most powerful military force if you will in lebanon and so the country is going to roll with it because nobody can do anything else and it's an interesting way of mana when i when you think about that i mean he gets a lot of media coverage there's a lot of hype but i mean everybody wants to keep the peace go ahead. absolutely and you know we already have i personally think that there could be tensions with the international community. as this as i said is a global tradition brosius it's not only limited to lebanon and syria and we already saw the movement last week i think in the u.s. congress which wanted to stop military aid to lebanon so this is developed that will impact on the many steps the other thing is i'm wondering why you didn't ask about the role of saudi arabia i think saudi arabia has quite an important role to play and i think it was although it was very unhappy when they heard it a government was failed this earlier this year. it's clearly started to lead in on its all

hizbollah won't let it but that's evidence that it's an american israeli clar it seems like it's a hizbullah plot to destabilize lebanon and to undermine the obligations that lebanon has been placed under by the international community there was a resolution the resolution passed there was a prosecutor was an investigation the investigation concluded it's hardly fair to blame anyone other than the people stopping the investigation and let's not forget what we heard in the introduction which is that the last government was brought. down over the government's refusal to disavow the really tried you know the government was brought to his ball of brought down the government because the government failed was meeting its international obligations it's ok for you but you know for me please please please use it means a lot of people would say this is part of a plan to destabilize lebanon i think all of us would agree that this is what's going to happen why and who is behind it is totally different go ahead i'll go ahead i think i think i think as an observer as a journalist and i've been covering th

over the government's refusal to disavow the hariri tribe you know the government was brought to hizbullah brought down the government because the government failed was meeting its international obligations it's a. lot of people would say this is part of the plan to destabilize lebanon and i think all of us would agree that this is what's going to happen and why and who's behind it is totally different go ahead i'll go ahead i think i think i think as an observer as a journalist and i've been covering this country even though i mean i've been as but i live abroad for many years and i. you know i can i can i can say that if hezbollah or any other faction for that matter haven't wanted to destabilize the country they can hezbollah has been one of the factors and lebanon so far and i'm sorry if people disagree but that's a fact on the ground that has made sure that this state you know that this country continues to be stabilized and refuses to participate in a sectarian war or conflict or to cause it is a sham and been on hold down the government lebanon shutting down the country you know how
