And that's assuming that the people that stayed home all stayed home for reasons of opposition to Hezbollah. People can stay home for all types of different reasons, logistics, their kid got a cold, they got a cold, they were lazy, whatever.

So as far as we can tell, and this is what Hezbollah intended this to be, not just an outpouring of grievance for their fallen leader, but also, as they said repeatedly, this was a demonstration of their continued viability in Lebanon.

So because of that, whatever you want to do moving forward in Lebanon, because they've demonstrated, at least they've tried to demonstrate the retention of this base, you have to take them into consideration, uh, the same way you did prior to, uh, to, to the war.

Now, two examples of this, uh, uh, Noah Salam, the current prime minister of Lebanon, who was not initially endorsed by Hezbollah, but now Hezbollah is part of the government, uh, at least, you know, indirectly in some ways, um, uh,

In an interview with Lebanon's state broadcaster, Tel Aviv, about a month ago, I want to say, he said that he had to take into account while forming his government, the political realities in the country and the sense of the Shiite community's feelings of being wounded by the recent war. Now, if Hezbollah has been decimated, you wouldn't take these two things into consideration.

Because to set a national defense policy means you have to get all the Lebanese factions at the table, which includes Hezbollah, and you have to ask them, what do we do with Hezbollah's arms?
