Life Under Hezbollah

July 23, 2006 · 3 Comments

Like all things in the Middle East, Hezbollah is much more complicated than one would think. It is equal parts religious movement, terrorist group, social welfare organization, political party, and revolutionary movement. The question is how to reconcile these many identities, remove those that are harmful, encourage those that are beneficial, and somehow encourage Hezbollah, which is not going anywhere, to operate in a way that is acceptable to both Hezbollah and its neighbors.
