The Triumph of Unrealism - George F. Will
Hizballah has willingly suffered (temporary) military diminution in exchange for enormous political enlargement.
Hitherto Hizballah in Lebanon was a "state within a state." Henceforth, the Lebanese state may be an appendage of Hizballah, as the collapsing Palestinian Authority is an appendage of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Why America Wants Hizballah Beaten Even More Than Israel Does
Henri J. Barkey
The Hizballah model represents the nightmarish metamorphosis of a well-supplied and trained militia. If it can work in Lebanon, the model can be emulated elsewhere around the globe...
Hizballah extends Iran's reach well beyond the immediate region and the Middle East...
The U.S. ...cannot afford to see the proliferation of Hizballah-like organizations deciding the fate of nations.
