In fact, Hezbollah is now not only militarily stronger than ever – Security Council Resolution 1701, which called for its disarmament, has proven to be an utter failure – but also more politically robust than before the war. Admirably adept at weaving together all of Lebanon’s political, religious, and nationalists threads, Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nazrallah, is today the undisputed master of Lebanon.
以色列于2006年在黎巴嫩袭击真主党的战争——该战争得到了美国以及整个阿拉伯“温和派”阵营的支持——不再是一个成功。事实上，真主党不仅在军事实力上变得前所未有的强大——要求真主党裁军的安理会1701号决议已经成为完全失败——而且，在政治上比战争前更有活力。真主党的领导人哈桑·纳斯鲁拉（Hassan Nazrallah）善于将黎巴嫩的政治、宗教和民族主义编织起来加以利用，他现在是黎巴嫩毋庸置疑的首领。
