#1 The statement charged that rounding up Islamists in Lebanon was aimed at pleasing the United States and the Europeans who seek hegemony over the Middle East region.

Bzzt wrong.

The arrests were made to keep several places in Lebanon from being the targets of cruise missles.

With "arrests" like this and movement of (a small number) of Sryian troops some one must have got a very specific message laced with undeniable facts.
Those someones attention was got. Lebanon doesn't want to look like Iraq. Sryia doesn't either. It usually feels free to ignore these groups.
