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.

In any case, I think this is a terrible move by Israel given the progress that Lebanon has made in the past 18 months. The goal should be lessening the influence extremists have in Lebanon, not driving the government into their arms.
