Lebanon has held peaceful elections for major parliamentary elections in which many experts predicted that Hezbollah a Iran - Syria back group will gain majority. No, matter the outcome the military group has promised to "accept the results". Washington D.C. was not far behind from congratulating there western-backed ally often times considered a moderate country, which I find as a joke considering U.S forces (along with Govt. authorization) were shipping weapons to have Lebanon leveled, and then praising it for a sham democracy.
As to how the future of Lebanon will look is uncertain considering their is a trial in the International Court System asking the Hezbollah group to hand its leaders in for murder. What this election could mean is how much the govt. (that has won majority) could push the militant group to hand over leaders, accused of not just being murderers but also terrorists in the global war on terror.
