#1 "People without weapons [...] All they can do is stage a demonstration."

Whoa, someone should have thrust a book on Gandhi and peaceful protest into this guy's hands, just then, end of sentence. The sooner these guys realise that peaceful demonstrations would help their cause, and that murdering people doesn't, the sooner they'll start climbing out of that stinking hole they've dug themselves so deeply into.

#2 I take it Nasrallah never gets close to the "tools of the trade"? No chance of a "work accident" here? That's too bad.

#3 Hizbullah leader said Thursday his group might join Iraqis if they decide to launch an insurgency against U.S. forces.

This is something that another pre-emptive strike would take care of. Kill ALL Hezbollah members everywhere. NOW.

#5 Excellent point, Bulldog. If the paleos went non-violent, their beefs would be given legitimate scrutiny. I just don't think it's in the Muslim genetic code.

#6 Nassy is trying to have it all ways at once - maintain credibility with the "Arab/Muslim street" by continuing to make noises like a real live terrorist group, but avoid getting himself/Hezbollah/Syria/Lebanon waxed and Windexed by the US for actually being one. Also, in the last three years, he's found there's more money and fun (read: power) in politics than in kidnappings and explosions. But if he gets too "legitimate political party" appearing, he'll lose the support of the Iranians; if he disarms, he'll lose the support of the Syrians, where Basher Assad, the Ba'ath toy of the Middle East, uses him as a proxy against Israel. Geez, it's enough to get your turban in a wad, all the problems a radical Islamic fundamentalist spit-flying fanatic has to deal with these days.
