The Mid East is still a tinderbox. If there were to be a large scale general war, I'm sure it would have to start there. Wait until the strife in Syria brings down Lebanon, and then Israel mobilizes, because they don't want that shit on their borders. Scary stuff.
Yes, AFAIK Hezbollah is going to be in a precarious place without Assad. On Talk of the Nation last week, they were talking about Lebanon, and mentioned that Hezbollah now has 10x the missiles it did in 2006. I think it's anybody's guess what will happen in the next couple of years. However, the chance of more conflict seems pretty high.
