THE TWO FACES OF HEZBOLLAH

There really are two sides of Hezbollah. Not only are they militant, but they are political. They have won government seats. They are credited with ending the Israeli occupation of Lebanon.

I guess you just have to read read read and form your own opinion in matters of war.

The west calls them terrorists, but in Lebanon they are poised to become major political players.
