...easy. Lebanon is chronically fractious, and the old civil-war rivals are already bickering over how to divvy up power with the Syrians gone. Nobody is talking yet about the most contentious issues facing the new parliament: how to disarm Hizballah, the militant Shi'ite group, and reconfigure the 1943 power-sharing agreement known as the National Pact. The task of uniting the country has fallen to Saad, a shy Georgetown University graduate who makes no secret that he would rather be scuba diving or riding his Harley.

Rice executed a course correction on Lebanon, cooling U.S. denunciations of the militant group Hizballah, aware that the organization will almost certainly increase its clout in the May elections. And Rice quietly prevailed two weeks ago, when the U.S. backed European efforts to induce Iran to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for economic and trade incentives. Until that time, the hard-liners...
