Book on Hezbollah guy: "Hezbollah is willing to sacrifice Lebanon in its perpetual war against Israel..."

"... What options remain for the younger Mr. Hariri? He leads a fractious and shrinking coalition .... if he has the stomach for it: stick with the tribunal and let it air its evidence at trial....... The odds of this strategy succeeding are not great: Hezbollah is likely to emerge the end winner because it is willing to sacrifice the Lebanese state to maintain its standing in the Middle East and its perpetual war against Israel. But Lebanon’s lonely prime minister has no better choice than to play the long shot for a just resolution; otherwise, he’ll become a steward of Hezbollah’s impunity."
