They come armed with cash...in US dollars no less

Ironic, isn't it?

The US destabilizes the mid-east >>> which adds a risk premium to petroleum and petroleum products >>> which feeds higher profits to Iran >>> which uses the money to fund Hezbollah >>> who uses the money to attack Israel and fund the rebuilding of southern Lebanan >>> which gives Hezbollah more political power.

We do it all racking up debt and Iran probably has a budget surplus.

Now that is a plan!

Thanks to the oil money flowing through Iran (most likely) Hezbollah has millions to spend reconstructing what Israel reduced to rubble.

A failure of the Bush Administration to recognize exactly who Hezbollah is. It's a terrorist organization and a social services organization. Bush can "sell" Hezbollah as solely a terrorist organization in the US but that doesn't count. It's how Hezbollah is perceived in Lebanon that counts.
