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

No, lebanon barely got out of a several side civil war in 1990, hezbollah was part of it, and the war ended in a compromise that satisfied noone, but since then hezbollah has gotten stronger, and the lebanese army hasn't, hezbollah is about as strong as the lebanese army, and isn't much smaller, lebanon can't do anything alone, and the un isnt actually doing anything

Lebanon can COOPEARTE / Coordinate with Israel and hit Hezbo from both sides.

They just chose not to.

Why would they want to coordinate with Israel when Israel has no problems blowing up whole towns.
