Re: "iran was ...supplying the hezblahblah"

Of course, GZ.

Hezbollah is a SHIITE organization.

Iran (the largest Shiite nation) supports them *just as* many of the fundamentalists associated with SUNNI states (such as the Whabbists from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc., etc.) support the Hamas organization --- a Sunni organization.

And, while *both* Hamas and Hezbollah are religious/social/political organizations opposed to Israel, they are ALSO 'opposed' to EACH OTHER, and competing for public support and popularity (& thus, political power) with EACH OTHER.

(Hezbollah also has much support within the majority population of IRAQ that is SHIITE --- the Iraqi Shiites represent the largest group of Shiites outside of Iran....)
