>> Compared to the Lebanese opposition demonstrations, Hezbollah's was huge. It very much gave the impression that most people were behind Hezbollah whether it was a lie or not. The crowds were large (500K? Not too sure about that). But what is important is that while those who support Hezbollah turned out in droves, those who DON'T far outnumber those who DO. It isn't even close. It is also significant that Hezbollah would turn to this kind of demonstration as opposed to a terrorism-based statement. What you all do not want to look at is that Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad etc. do a lot of good for their people. That's why they are so popular. You keep ignoring the fact that they are more than just terrorists. Using terrorism as a tactic is a least common denominator. If you use terrorism, you are a terrorist and can never be more than that, no matter what. If you are supporting terrorism, the only acceptable outcomes are change or your destruction. If Hezbollah wants to change, fine -- I don't see it happening though.
