Italian FM: Hezbollah Is Not A Terrorist Group
2006-08-26
(AGI) - Rome, Aug 25 - Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alima repeated today that he doesn't consider Hezbollah merely a terrorist group. "An organisation that has 35 members in parliament and three ministers cannot just be described as a terrorist group", D'Alema declared in an interview with the Israeli newspaper 'Haaretz'.
Spoken like a good Socialist.
"Hezbollah is not considered to be a terrorist group by the EU, nor in my own opinion", adding "Hezbollah is a military organisation, but also a force that presents itself at the elections". So, he stressed, "the paradox is that we support (Lebanese premier Fuad) Siniora, a democratic leader, and Siniora praises Hezbollah as defender of the Lebanese patria. It is important to understand the complexity of the situation, because with a simplistic view, one faces the enemy in the wrong way.

#6  They not terrorists?

Then invite them home with you for dinner - and get several of the dates with your daughter(s).

Uh-huh - that's what I thought. Kiss-ass wanker.

The terrorists pollute your rotten little parliament, rather than your parliament cleansing Hezbollah.

#3  Sure thing, paisan.

Mussolini wasn't a thug, either, once he became part of the Italian government, right? After all, he was the leader of a military-type organization that was a force that presented itself at the elections, and a defender of Italia too.

Yes, it's a complicated situation full of bullshit nuance....
