watch the so-called "popularity" of Hizbollah disintegrate after the Lebanese realise that Syria will no longer be calling the shots in their country.
Doubt it. Hizbollah is very deeply rooted in Shia culture in Lebanon, while you might like to see it as an evil terrorist network propped up by Syria it's something much larger, broader and far more pervasive. Hizbollah controls swaths of Lebanon. One of many reasons the leaving of Syrian troops might not be the panacea a lot of people image it is.
