Hezbollah is fascinating group of psychos, and worth studying as like the Facebook of terrorism startups. Laugh at my simile, but I have seen these nuts from a distance for a while, like others, and getting to know Lebanese people and their stories of these wackos does not bode well for anyone who does not like them too much. They run their own secret cellphone network. It is so important to them, when Sunni-aligned, anti-Shia intelligence services shut it down, Hezbollah blocked the road to the airport for a week with armed militias. This messed up travel plans for some co-workers. They made a video game about the Israeli war in 2006 (not a single person will by it for me, since I want to inspect it for malware and other fun goodies), and the proudly admit they invented the IED, slughtly before the Iraq War, and with showmanship destroyed very powerful Israeli (not American bought, the Israeli-built ones, forget the name) which were previously a pebble in their tactical shoes. These are not the stereotyped cave-dwelling terrorists. These are educated nutbag technocrats who put a crazy amount of detail into their operations. And the racial hate of the Israeli Army cannot surpress them. So you know they are willing to throw down for a fight. These tiny anecdotes I compile show a dangerous pattern of very sophisticated loons who believe their own agenda. If you read around, they say will say they are sticking around to fight the Israelis bc they are a true enemy and the Lebanese Armed Forces are cuckolded by Western influences to not engage. Now, you will notice there has been no discussion of disarmament or rhetoric about the stage where they vanquish them, and have to allow the State of Lebanon to function less like the state of Lebanon (see that capitalization joke I did there? Lebanon is not a failed state, but an awesome place where this bullshit drags everyone and everything down). They are a self-justifying state within a state and they a lot of influence that cannot be curtailed. Current Western counter-terrorist need to study people like this in depth, becuase ISIS and newer groups of the Sunni persuasion clearly are edging towards this new level of hyper-organized, society within society operations that no one has successfully stopped yet. Good help us when ISIS a-holes learn to Node (allow a joke, no one has a sense of humor anymore). http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/islamic-state-files-show-structure-of-islamist-terror-group-a-1029274.html http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/islamic-state-file... And if anti-Hezbollah Lebanese, of which I know many, cannot stop them on their own turf to save their own people from sideways bigots (I do not want to get into wholesale, but needless to say all these groups repulse me), USG and friends in Iraq and Syria are utterly fucked. As I said, we need to leave yesterday.
