"Hezbollah had negotiated the power to veto government decisions after Shi`ite gunmen overran Sunni neighborhoods in Beirut in May 2008."

Roughly translated Hezbollah put a gun at the head of anyone in Lebanon who would question their power. Being part of the election process is nice. I wonder how on earth did they lose the election..? They obviously didn`t learn efficient voting fraud techniques from their paymasters in Tehran..

With "skilled" negotiators like Hezbollah are the French expecting any good concessions..?

The European Union does not list Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Australia, Canada, Israel, UK & US do list Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation.

As Hezbollah is perfectly legal in France, perhaps Bernard Kouchner would be perfectly happy for Hezbollah to move en mass to France and be his neighbours? Why not? Pourquoi par?

Both Lebanon and Israel would have peace or is that too high a price to pay Bernie..?
