I know enough to disagree. Hizbollah has significant influence, as it has had for years, but it does not "run the country." What is playing out now is the failure of the U.S. strategy to try to marginalize Hizbollah. Having enough power so that you can't be marginalized is not the same as running the place, except perhaps to those who wish to equate the two, in the interests of trying to maintain the now-failed policy of marginalization.
All major actors in the country agree in principle on the need for a new agreement on how to share power. They are haggling and jockeying over the (important) details.
