I understand this is a sensitive topic, but I see a lot of people trying to draw parallels between the current conflict in the Middle East and various hypothetical conflicts between Western nations. Some of the comparisons do not take the specifics of Hezbollah into account, and I wonder how much that undermines their arguments.
So, in as reasoned and civil a manner as possible (I know...I shouldn't get my hopes up), could we please come up with an accurate, unbiased understanding of what exactly Hezbollah is and where they fit in when compared with other military and political organizations?
Answers which cite repurable sources are highly encouraged. Emotional screeds and sub-literate, jingoist invective are not. Am I being too optimistic here? Please don't disappoint me.
