Hezbollah in Trouble; Nasrallah: I want to spend more time with family
Long article - here are some tidbits:
one problem is
...according to well-sourced accounts of a meeting two weeks ago, Nasrallah "complained he no longer wanted the job." ...Nasrallah is now tainted... by his association with a Syrian regime that has been slaughtering its Sunni opponents.
the other problem is
...Hezbollah's control over Lebanon's Shiite community seems to be unraveling. There's crime and social unrest in Shiite areas that the party is incapable of curtailing
most of the rest is a long story about a rival Shiite cleric who was kidnapped, tortured, etc. by Hezbollah
