In Lebanon Hezbolla is still a larger armed force than their own military. They can't be controlled by the Lebanonese Army, and so far, not by any other external force. The Israelies basically fought them to a stalemate and blew the hell out of the civilian structures. I am not sure that even a majority of democratic or pro-Western politicos is going to have much of an effect on how business is done. They can't afford to piss off the guys with guns. Time will tell. I am pessimistic.
