The Wash Post reports on Israel's pullout of Lebannon and to the UN's force. But Chris Matthews of "Hardball" asked if Hezbollah had been weakened.
I think that's the wrong question. It seems to compare the organization to a standing army; the simple fact that such a query would develop shows how little we Americans really "get" the Arab / Israel conflict. Hezbollah represents a force in what is more a holy war than a common nation to nation battle. Thus, it's more a movement than an army.
Take a look at this video. Yes, it's totally anti-Hezbollah, but it underscores my point of how severe the differences are and why we as Americans must be careful.
