Metamorphosis

Right before our very eyes Hezbollah are, apparently, metamorphosising from a terrorist organisation to...well, no news what exactly they are yet. I'm sure it'll only be a short time before the MSM starts calling them freedom fighters or some such nonsense. I wonder how long before other terrorist groups are elevated to the same level as nation-states?

The United Nations’ #2 man, Mark Malloch Brown, says it is “not helpful” to call Hizballah a terrorist organization.

The [Australian] government is on a collision course with its Muslim advisory group over its claim that Hizbollah should not be considered a terrorist organisation.

In a rebuff to Washington, the European Union will not add the Islamist Hezbollah movement to its list of terrorist organizations, the EU president says.

I guess Al Qaeda will soon be along to start firing rockets at random into Israel in order to have their terrorist status rescinded too.

That is funny! Well done.

NPR has now started referring to Hezbollah officially as "guerrilla fighters". Just heard, on "Morning Edition". It is pretty funny that the world criticizes the US for labelling them "terrorists", seeing as they bombed our OWN SOLDIERS. In a SUICIDE TRUCK BOMB. And we should call them otherwise why exactly?

Good one about al Qaida!

You know, as far as I am concerned, Hizbollah ought to be considered the Lebanese military. After all, they have 20% of the seats in the Lebanese Parliament, and the Lebanese government does allow the Hizbollah forces to operate in Southern Lebanon. This means they are an official force of the state of Lebanon.

this also means that when they attack Israel, it is one state attacking another state. And that means that Israel is within their rights to do what they need to do to destroy the Lebanese government.

We need to stop falling for this stupid good cop/bad cop game that Muslim countries play with us.

They attack us by proxy all the time, and then deny they wanted it to happen.

A big resounding bullshit from me.
