Lebanon is the only Arab country where Christians form around half of its population. Therefore, Lebanon is at a vulnerable position toward the danger of terrorism. Terrorist groups in the region may allow Muslims to survive by imposing tough rules and harsh condition but they never give other faiths such a chance. They would kill and enslave the Yazidis and the Christians.
If Lebanon's Hezbollah has been a terrorist organization, Christians, Sunnis and those who do not believe to any spiritual faith but having fun in Beirut's bars must have been complaining about Hezbollah. But why none of them submit even a report against Hezbollah, which is a Shia political and paramilitary organization?!
Traditionally, a terrorist group is one that tries to impose its own ideology or faith to others by force. While Hezbollah has a moderate attitude toward social and cultural issues and it has not attacked freedom of people in Lebanon yet though the domain of freedom might contradicts Islam and Sharia Law. Politically, Hezbollah committed to democracy and diplomacy and it never tried to abuse its military power to occupy Beirut by a coup while the present condition of the country could be tempting. In addition, it would be a useful training to sometime answer to arguments rather than repeating old allegations.
Political instability of Lebanon is an evident fact and considering its own vulnerable position and critical situation of borders with Syria, strengthening Hezbollah is vital to keep counter-terrorism powerful.
Removing competitor is the nature of politics and without a doubt Tehran, Bashar al-Assad, Hezbollah and perhaps Yemen’s Ansarullah are regional rivals of the West in the Middle East but eliminating them, thorough unusual, unprofessional and hastily acts could only create crisis. This approach of the Western States needs revision.

Lebanon: Quadrangular Diplomacy
Various terrorist groups have activity in the Middle East as well as in the neighboring of Lebanon. Perhaps the only preventive factors of terrorist infiltration into Lebanese territory are lack of oil resources in Lebanon and the resistance of Hezbollah forces against the terrorists in some border areas of Lebanon. Terrorist groups need oil to continue their activities and lack of energy sources in a country reduces their widespread activities there. Therefore, destroying strategic areas of terrorists by obtaining the consent of Baghdad and Damascus governments is of the easiest options to exterminate the terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Oil refineries and airports are among these strategic locations. Commitment to reconstruct these locations can facilitate the satisfaction process of these governments.
But an offensive operation is the best form of defense as most of the military experts are aware. So, the terrorists attempt to invade to several areas in Syria and Iraq to be able to buy time. The occupation of Ramadi in Iraq was done to achieve the same goal and caused Baghdad to cancel the liberation operation of Mosul. And it seems that achieving the oil resources of the Al Anbar province was the secondary objective of ISIS. The terrorists may attack Lebanon based on the same manner. Therefore, it is necessary to resolve the issue of Lebanese political instability.
A quadrangular diplomacy with Hezbollah, Tehran and Paris should be immediately started by the system in order to settle this issue.
In the end, Israel's Shaked plan on Attorney-General job is under support of the system as a movement (or in other words, as a step) toward democracy.
