I just finished "Part Two" of Goldberg's piece in the "New Yorker" on the Hizbollah. I did not expect to end up in South America to start! He shows us that Hizbollah has a world-wide protection/extortion racket going that is generating a multimillion dollar monthly income from the Muslim communities all over the world. It is going to be quite a job to take them down, but the organization must change its ways or be destroyed. We will be under threat of constant attack as long as they stay the way they are. The good news is that it looks like the FBI is now on top of them here. They are still paying "lip service" to PC, but they have these people targeted. It is not too easy for them to disappear in this country. And, of course, the "Strings" for all of this lead right back to Iran.
