In Lebanon, Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's pro-Western party and the opposing, Syrian-backed Hizbollah have agreed to form a Government of national unity.

A high-profile accord brokered in Qatar last May among Lebanese political players ended an escalating armed conflict and led to the nomination of a long-awaited president. The deal gave the Hezbollah-led opposition and Hassan Nasrallah (above, left) veto power over Government decisions in the next Government. But until recently, wrangling over the main portfolios had slowed down formation of a Cabinet. Finally, after six weeks of negotiations, Prime Minister-designate Fouad Siniora reached an agreement on Saturday with the opposition regarding the distribution of ministries. He told reporters after meeting with Aoun that the Cabinet lineup will be announced in the "near future." Although it will only serve until the middle of next year or so, the upcoming Cabinet -- by distributing perks, positions and patronage to various Lebanese -- might well determine the winn ...
