NY Times Op-Ed: Hezbollah's Last Suicide Mission

Why: the UN is about to announce the results of its Special Tribunal, in which they have investigated the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister in 2005. Hezbollah has been acting as if they will be implicated.

This is an international game of chess where we, as outsiders, don't know much about the rules of the game. All we know is one side just made a huge move, and both sides' Queens seem to be at risk. Worst case is civil war, or there could be even worse cases, who knows.
This is really going to solidify Iran's influence in the area and it's ability to maintain a proxy war with Israel. Now with the collapse of the government they just went from covert to overt.
