After government collapse, Hezbollah works to get more power in Lebanon (Leila Fadel, 1/14/11, Washington Post)

A day after toppling the Lebanese government, the Shiite Hezbollah movement and its allies were working to gain enough support in parliament to control the selection of Lebanon's next prime minister, Lebanese officials said.

The ability to play that role would make the militant group - already the strongest armed power in Lebanon - the nation's most important political player as well.

They are regardless.
