		<description>mustapha says, &quot;It took a government decision with a potential to disrupt their military effectiveness for them to react in a bloody and ruthless way in the streets of Beirut.&quot;

there is nothing more bloody and ruthless than the mafia-government&#039;s attempt to disarm the resistance, thereby leaving the southern lebanese vulnerable to the zionist death machine.

the government is a non-government. they are not professional in the least. they are thieves. they are crooks. they are corrupt. they steal away water and electricity fromt he people. they are worthless and meaningless. the most effective thieves among them have been sanyooora and rafiq.</description>

		<description>mustapha says: &quot;...and they become just another political party in Lebanon, HARDLY A RECIPE FOR POPULARITY.&quot;

especially if they become like the future movement, a lame-ass mafia that pays uneducated &quot;cockroaches&quot; (to quote mustapha) to be its supporters.

*NOTE: mustapha once called another group of people(the shiaa) cockroches. this was in a post that mentioned frangiyeh a few months ago, and when a comMentor called mustapha on it, he deleted the entire post.</description>

		<description>The only answer to the question, “Are there really Two Hezbollahs?”, is absolutely not.  As the article’s comments point out, without weapons Hezbollah evaporates.  They fit in so well with a populace that places such a high value on trigger pulling solutions and no value on approaches that require knowledge and mental effort.  So, if the military wing represents one group just who (and what) represents the second?

Hezbollah is not the Irish Republican Army, which had both military and political parts.  What political program does Hezbollah offer Lebanon.  If just providing social services after disasters is all it takes then the Red Cross would be running a good part of the world.  The literacy rate in Lebanon is about 90%, which means that 10% of 4 million people can’t read and write.  And most of these people are living in the South.  Hezbollah Country!  Wouldn’t Hezbollah ranks be a lot smaller if more people received an adequate education and were able to find work.  You better believe it.  So where are the education and job creation policies?  This is pretty basic stuff.

Last point.  Hezbollah is a proxy for Iran – everybody knows that.  Their sole function is to use force for harassment, diversion, destabilization and weapons testing.  As the expression goes, “they are not being paid to think, just do”.  A political wing, separate from the military, is not available now and for the foreseeable future.</description>

		<description>He3, hezbollah&#039;s achievement. He3 he3 he3.

Yes, putting an entire country into war, getting 1200 lebanese killed and more than 700 disabled, to secure the release of a child murderer. Oh yeah. Those are results one can really rally behind.

I bet you believe that the Israelis were the ones behind Harriri&#039;s assassination as well, don&#039;t you courtfool?

I love people like you. You make me laugh! :D</description>

		<description>@jester, hizb - and olmer - are in &quot;saving face mode&quot;, so if some kids from both side of the south fence start to throw rocks at each other, hizb would say that they&#039;re &quot;exchanging stones&quot;, is a glorious day for the &quot;resistence&quot; and the war was a fine price for &quot;liberating&quot; lebanese stones from zionist captivity.

About saniora endorsment, I would not value it that much, after all, after all those past (mis)performance by M14 in general - what would you expect ? I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if someone, someday, push a finger hard into saniora derriere, he just look back and say that &quot;ya dude, it&#039;s not hygienical...&quot; and do nothing.

@Abdonkey
1) I would be more honored getting back a stone than kuntar.
2) If nas&amp;hizb are allways in rambo-mode, why he didn&#039;t start a war with syria to &quot;liberate&quot; the syrian jails.

		<description>Fool, Seniora is, like you, a fool for hinting that Hizbo is anything more than a bunch of mercenaries and thugs beholden to non-Lebanese patrons; one a totalitarian thugocracy, the other a psychotic triumphalist theocracy.</description>

		<description>The problem with this post, is that you make it very clear you&#039;re a Sunni, and worse don&#039;t give credit when credit is due.

Even Seniora had the courtesy of acknowledging Hezbollah&#039;s most recent achievement.</description>
