Answer 3

Are you asking if an angry mob democratically elects itself? Are you asking if people elected based on false information and racial slander are democratically elected? Are you asking if money and services can buy votes?
Yes, members of the Hezbollah party were democratically elected to the Lebanese parliament just like some very famous politicians both in old-time New York City and more recent Chicago. Isn't democracy wonderful? It gives every person the full power to be stupid and self-destructive.

Answer 4

Most people are not saying that members of Hezbollah cannot have elected officials in Lebanon's parliament.

They're saying that regardless of electoral votes, Hezbollah doesn't have the right to lob rockets at Israeli towns. Slight difference.

Besides, the US has already established its policy that if we don't like a government, we have the right to invade and topple that government, or to impose economic sanctions to force those elected officials out of office.

That's the other part of democracy that everyone forgets. At it's core, the very concept of majority rule is a might-make-right system.

Answer 5

Fear put Hezbollah into the governing body of Lebanon. Hezbollah was started in 1982 under the sole goal that it would destroy Israel. Does this sound like a basis for civil government--by the people or for the people (democracy)?

Answer 6

Hezbollah was born out of Israeli occupation of Lebanon and they are working on freeing Lebanese who were kidnapped by Israel and the want to kick Israel out of Lebanese land

Answer 7

Yes, they are a part of parliament, but they obviously are not law abiding. They are terrorists in every sense of the word. If the Lebanon government doesn't get them under control, Israel will! When will they learn, they're never going to destroy Israel except only in their dreams!

Answer 8

Hezbollah is a government within a government and also a terrorist org. The election process is so corrupt that it is considered a joke to most Lebanese citizens...

Answer 9

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah Read why they are there, instead of assuming you know why. Democracy in the USA is definitely different than this Democracy. Go to one of the Arabic countries become an Islamic citizen and discuss their political agenda. Afraid you wouldn't live long enough to voice your opinion again.

Answer 10

The Hezbollah are a bunch of terrorist pukes who wants to convert the world to their own warped version of Islam.Don't you people (anyone who asks questions like this& thinks all the terrorests are just in what they do)EVER pick up a newspaper or watch the news?
