It seems the powers-that-be, everywhere, instructed the media to distinguish 
between Hezbollah's "militant arm" and the rest of the org as a face-saving 
measure for Israel and the US. It doesn't look like Hez. or Ham will be 
demilitarized, as Israel had originally demanded. Nor does it look like Israel 
will be destroyed this week, as Hez & Ham wanted. 

Such nonsense, such waste of life!

    OK >* By all accounts, Hizbollah is not a terrorist organization but a 
guerrilla army. See for example:
     
    Israel needs to recognize that it cannot be the only
    country in the region with any credible military
    force.
     
    LH: To quote you, "You come out as extremely poorly informed here."  Read a 
non-Leftist History of Iran.  Hezbollah was created by Khomeini as the activist 
arm of his revolution.  It isn't a guerilla organization.  It is a full-fledged 
Militant Islamic terrorist organization.  You can't understand Hezbollah 
without understanding Khomeini's Islamist Revolution.  I don't know how 
credible Hezbollah's military force will turn out.  We'll probably have an 
opportunity to find out.


  One man's revolutionary freedom fighter is another man's militant terrorist. 
It's pretty meaningless to argue about it. As you can see, it will go on 
forever. But... carry on, at least it's something to read.
