Of course, Hezbollah has been claiming, and will continue to claim, victory. And one suspects that its opposition to Israel's very existence, an issue much broader and deeper than the current conflict, will not be so easily overcome.
But, for now, with peace (if only a temporary one) on the way, Hezbollah's determinaton that it "not be an obstacle to any decision that [the Lebanese government] finds appropriate," as well as its apparent willingness to participate in, and pursue its interests peacefully through, Lebanese politics is a positive sign.
