As a result of a straight forward investigation into the assassination of lebanons former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Hezbollah has walked out of Lebanon's unity government.Hezbollah who functions as both a military,political, and intellegence agency, in going rouge creates a power vaccum in a region where violence already proliferates.

If ever thier was a question as to Hezbollahs legitimacy as a governmental body, walking out of the Lebanese government surely answers that.Hezbollah has admited its guilt in action by ducking charges while also showing that its agenda supercedes that of the Lebanese people.

This change in events means that one of the most well armed, and active terrorist organizations is now bound by nothing, and is under international pressure.Of the actions Hezbollah may take to regain power, is provoking a civil war in Lebanon wich they would certainly win, or possibly attacking Israel to gain regional support despite being terrorists.With Israel's recent discovery of natural gas in the region, the latter seems likely.
