It changes nothing, because Hezbollah is still a state-within-a-state, and does not submit to the authority of the central government other than on its own terms. I have no idea how the Lebanese are going to deal with having a private army not subject to state control controlling the southern portion of its country, and threatening the stability of the rest of the country. Right now Hezbollah's leadership is savvy enough to trumpet its "Lebanese-ness" but I doubt that can continue long-term - esp not with huge infusions of cash and money continuing from Iran, and with Syria sitting right next door itching to come back in.
