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.
