#1 My two-cents about Lebanon and Hezbullah: The Lebanese Army could still eliminate the militants or at least kick them in the nuts and make them shut up. But I guess they are too neutered to act. They might as well throw on a burka. Hezbullah as a party makes up ?7%? of the population and yet they drive ALL the politics in the country. Kind of reminds me of a minority party that scored big in the 1930s.
