“The government’s strategy worked. Hezbollah, the Shia Amal Movement, and the anti-Semitic fascist Syrian Social National Party fired rocket-propelled grenades, tripod mounted machine guns, and small arms, and blocked off streets in Beirut, intimidating residents and imprisoning them.”

Is that what you call working? I guess that means filling up slit trenches with bodies is the epitome of success? Must be a Mid-Eastern thing.
Here in the civilized world, when armed gunmen attack the government, success is either killing them or putting them in prison for an extended period of time. You should try it. All it takes is a little courage.
