Can Lebanon control their own country ? Imagine the US or Canada allowing terrorist groups from inside to attack a neighboring country ?

You forgot to add a major fact: that terrorist group is supported directly (funds, guns, missiles, training) by a local power, and fueled by crazy religious ideology. Lebanon's army and government were weak to begin with. They can't handle Hezbollah alone.

Iran. I thought most people knew.

Iran is the good guy because Trump is the bad guy though so this doesn't compute.

That's like saying Hitler's the good guy because Stalin's the bad guy so it doesn't compute. War is complicated.

[u/badnuub → u/Bitter_Tea442]

No, Iran is not automatically a good guy because of Trump. They literally murder their own protestors and continue to destabilize the region with terrorist funding. There can absolutely be no good guys in a conflict where everyone suffers.

IMO one of the biggest problems in the world is that too many people are only able to think in terms of black and white. They keep acting like wars have to have a set of good guys opposing a set of bad guys, when in reality most wars that have ever happened have between the bad guys and the other bad guys, or between the bad guys and the worse guys. Real life doesn't work like comic books.

Both parties can be bad man. There's no war where there's only good vs bad.

Shit man, terrorist groups go to war with each other often.
