Did you see the pictures of hizbolla giving out 12k in greenbacks to homeless shiaa. Thats iranian cash flowing in and its available because of $70 oil.

What I would like to see is those photos printed and captioned in Persian:

"Where's mine??!!" (since there's growing internal criticism over the funding of Hizbullah by Iran).

But I do applaud the Druze leader for criticizing Hizbullah. He makes an excellent point about Hizbullah being a proxy for Syria and Iran.

Overtime it might play very well in undermining Hizbullah's power base there, especially if there's concern about their power igniting another civil war, and/or an even greater regional war played out on Lebanese territory between Syria and Israel.
