At the time of the post from last year it was around the twentieth anniversary of the kidnappings. I agree with you that Hezbollah was probably much more influenced by Syria twenty years ago than they are today. IRan had not become as engaged in the Arab world as they are trying to be now. It is very interesting that Iran never got censured by the G-7 plus Russia due to the distraction from their clients, Hezbollah.

"20 years ago the U.S. was one of the MAIN supporters and suppliers of the "jihadists" now known as Al Qaeda. When they were killing Russian troops, we were the guys supplying them with the means to do it."

People sometimes regret the long term consequences of their exigencies. If not for the Mujahadeen Clinton would never have had the peace dividend to add to the deception of voluntary acceleration of tax payments inspired by the Roth IRA that made the illusion of a balanced budget possible.

"it's a very fluid situation."

I find myself agreeing with you more often.

The reality now is that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization just like Hamas. Both expend considerable resources towards the destruction of a neighbor. Do you hate your neighbors that much? If you did, would you try to kill them? If you did, how long before you were in jail?
