		<description>I have been saying this for years to all my friends... Lebanon's neighbors have invited themselves into our homes not following our rules and creating their own. 

I don't care if you're from Syria or Israel or the moon, under MY house its MY rules... And this includes Hizballah.

Everyone knows what their "cause" is. It's to make Lebanon completely muslim, and completely Shiite on top of that.</description>

		<description>Confusion, contradictions, lack of grasp of political issues, does not even begin to describe your post. 

“Hezbollah that started as an Islamic Revolution in Lebanon has turned into an Islamic Resistance”!!!! What does that mean? A revolution against whom? Did they not start resisting the Israelis from day one as different groups and later coalesced into this entity called Hezbollah? It was first and foremost a resistance group and remains so, though, as you say, it later evolved and entered politics.

“Hezbollah invaded the South and did not free it, it confiscated the resistance for its own political purposes and exploited the Palestinian Cause to keep its arms”!!! Ya3ni, 3an jad, is this a real statement? Who are the HA fighters but the very sons and daughters of the Lebanese Southerners? So, they invaded their own towns and villages? And, ya3ni, HA’s ideology is its arms, and not that it uses its weapons to further its political and security goals (which you may agree or not agree with)?

“You cannot fight Israel with a Pro-Syrian Pro-Iranian militia sending suicide bombers”!! But for 18 years they did, and ended up kicking the Israelis out. You can imagine how much begging the US and the UN would have gotten you as far as dislodging Israel from the South were it not for the resistance itself. 

“Lebanon managed to stop the war through its diplomatic ways and NOT through Hezbollah, infact it is cause of Hezbollah that the war wasnt stopped immediatly, because Israel was feeling threatened and the international community supported getting rid of this terrorist group” You are out of your depth here, and a poor reader of events. The only reason the war stopped was because after 34 days Israel could not penetrate a couple of miles into Lebanon, losing tens of Merkava tanks, while sustaining the biggest barrage of HA’s rockets on the last day of the war. They stopped because they failed their objectives and were being embarrassed. The UN resolution was the diplomatic cover they needed to save face. And, in your estimation, Israel, the 4th mightiest army on earth, with nuclear weapons et al, feels threatened, while tiny HA, without a tank or a fighter jet, feels superior and is the more menacing of the two? Ya3ni, she bida7ek!

There is too much to contradict and argue against here. I could go on forever.

W ba3d, you still have not been able to answer or convince us under what "terrorism" argument HA fits, and how their actions fit the argument.

I, like you, want a Lebanon that is free from all external influence, but that is a wish, considering the size of our country and our more destructive disunity, that will be far-fetched. 

If you do not see HA and the millions who support them as Lebanese, who have a right to resist and understand how and why they evolved into what they are today (including the sins of our own history and our corrupt and inequitable political system), then I see little chance of us ever getting to a place where we can all compromise to save this little and troubled nation. 

If you, as you have now, decide to go on a witch-hunt, labeling your own countrymen who suffered and paid with their lives to save their country and their dignity, as terrorists, then we are further apart than we imagine, and this little nation that you bemoan will never survive to see peace and tranquility.</description>
