"When the time comes to settle scores, they may be more likely to choose bullets rather than ballots to do the job"

ALB is telling us that Hariri's followers are not happy, and that they might still show it! I tell him: It's been tried before: May 2008' (thank you reader)! TIME, here
"... But the government's caving in to Hizballah and Syria will have its consequences: most importantly it's a message to those in Lebanon — and the wider Middle East — who put their trust in the U.S. and political reform that guns are still more powerful than votes. Watching the Syrian-backed opposition hamstring the investigation into his father's murder will have been a bitter pill for Hariri and his followers to swallow. When the time comes to settle scores, they may be more likely to choose bullets rather than ballots to do the job."
