 'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Bush, Hizbullah, and disarmament
In Lebanon, the state, being itself weak, has until recently in essence subcontracted many of the security reponsibilities in South Lebanon to Hizbullah, which had "won" that right by being the force that liberated the area from foreign military occupation.

But it is overwhelmingly the business of the Lebanese themselves to deal with it.
