Hizbollah

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/03/05/hezbollah/index2.html

I don't like linking to Salon articles because they require a pass or watching an ad. But I'm always impressed with the quality of information. This article points out to the complexity with the Lebanon issue...posing the question of how the opposition (ie protestors with support from the Western and Arab world) will cooperate with the Shiites, represented in the South by Hizbollah.

Let's hope Israel has the good sense to either keep their mouths shut or make some massively generous concession to Lebanon.

The test for America and Israel, from a moral standpoint, is how we deal with success. Do we chest thump? Do we take advantage? Or do we take the opportunity to help build long-lasting trust, by trying to alleviate some legitimate Arab concerns?
