1. Hezbollah in Government

I suspect that they will be as unsuccessful in governing as Hamas has been. Too bad for the people of Lebanon. Haven't they suffered enough?
2. Lebanon.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (09.08.09)
Lebanon is a country based on consensus between its more or less demographically balanced Christians, Sunnis, and Shias, and its smaller population of Druze. No sect is allowed by law or social contract to rule over the others. The system, when it works, provides checks and balances. Hezbollah has overthrown all of it. And when the system is overthrown, as it has been in the past, Lebanese have demonstrated that they can and will fight as viciously as Iraqi militias in Baghdad. Lebanon has no shortage of people from every sect and most political movements who will fight dirty urban warfare with little regard for unarmed civilian noncombatants.
