| Lebanon's Hezbollah leader Nasrallah |
Atlas Shrugs "The influence of the United States in the Middle East is declining while that of Iran is rising. That’s the meaning of events in Lebanon, where Hizballah has in essence thrown Prime Minister Saad Hariri from office and is about to choose his successor. Under Lebanon’s constitution, the prime minister must be a Sunni. But Najib Mikati, the Hizballah designee, is a Sunni who will owe his office not to support in the Sunni community but to Hizballah’s decision to make him PM. Hizballah now has the votes in parliament to put him in, and of course to throw him out should he cross them."
