Then you should note that those signed bombs are ment for hezbolah, not children in your comment. Children writing on bombs is as distasteful as children dressing up as (or becoming) homicide bombers or cheering deaths on the other side.
I think technically Lebanon has been the only unstable government in the region. Bashir has had no trouble with his little dictatorship, Hussein smoothly inherited his monarchy, Israel goes through changes of government more often than most democracies, but they are a pretty stable government.
Yes, it would have been nice if the young Lebanese government had been given the time to adjust to life without Syrian intervention or war and yes, it is hard to disarm or remove an organization as entrenched as hezbolah, but at least they could have put up a show of trying.
