Lebanon purports to be a sovereign country

I always wonder how people can support some of Israel's more extreme actions, and then I heard statements like this, which apparently suggests that sovereignty is based on how much a nation's policies agree with Israel's, and I don't wonder anymore.

I think Bluff's doubts about Lebanon's real sovereignty come more from it being run by Syria for the past 20 years than from its failure to fall in with Israel.

Their sovereignty could have been brought into question when Syria held the real power in the country - even then, however, Israel could not use Syria's control over Lebanese government to assert that it has the right to be aggressive towards Lebanon.
