That was a different Hariri and that happened in 2005. The, now previous, ruling party kept power after that with the younger Hariri being PM until these last elections. I agree, Hezbollah was probably involved in that blatant assassination. None the less, that was 6 years ago and Hezbollah has continued to make gains in elections, culminating in the recent formation of a new government. I don't like it, but the country is divided and it isn't even my country. As far as I'm aware, there is no reason for us to be able to say that they are not now the legitimate government of Lebanon. We don't have to be as friendly with them as the previous government, but they seem to be the ruling government none the less.
