No, I don't know what will happen. Here's what I understand about the situation: Hizbullah was forced to choose between Lebanon and Iran, its paymaster, and chose Iran. There go its attempts to reinvent itself as a Lebanese political party. It has chosen sides with Lahoud and Syria. Beyond that, I don't know. All the guns are with Syria now, while the popular and international will is with Lebanon.

Are we playing by Hama rules? I don't think Bashar the Stupid has the stones. Will he fall in a coup? Nobody knows. Will the Cedar Revolution play out like the Orange Revoluation or the Rose Revolution? We can only hope.

Here is a possible side effect.

It will be interesting to see whether this finally persuades the Europeans to join the US in declaring Hezbollah a terrorist group.
