And how will such an arrangement benefit the Lebanese people especially the Christian population? Will Syria and Iran continue to arm Hezbolah? Will Lebanon become any more democratic? Will Syria end its illegal interference with Lebanese internal affairs? How will it lead to greater chances of peace with Israel? How will the Palestinians benefit?
