Hassan Nasrallah is urging defiance and more demonstrations. He is calling for the government to resign. And he can surely mobilize half the population behind his cause.
But wouldn't it be funny if the other camp called for demonstrations asking Hezbollah to disarm? And they can surely mobilize the remaining half of the population!
The people will chant "we'll give you the government if you give us your 20,000 missiles."
The arguments used by Nasrallah to push for the resignation of this government are too easy to counter with arguments for disarming Hezbollah.
If, according to Nasrallah and Aoun, the government has to comply with the desire of the people, then Hezbollah too will have to comply with the desire of the people.
It's the right time to counter-attack for two reasons: 1) the opposition started this aggressive tone, 2) in order to embarrass Michel Aoun's supporters. Can they march against the government but not march to disarm the militia?
However, it is important not to please the Syrian president Bashar Assad. Demonstrations should take place at different times and in different locations to prevent clashes.
