Did I miss something here?
From today's NYT write-up on pro-Syrian demonstrations in Beirut:But Hezbollah, which the State Department classifies as a terrorist group, is now Lebanon's best organized political party and maintains a militia of some 20,000 men. [my emphasis] Perhaps this is part of the reason the pro-Syrians are being taken for the backward hicks they are. If your strength is not the greatness of ideas, but your capacity to kill, you can wreck a society but you can't build one. The appropriate response of the anti-Syrian demonstrators should be to carry pictures of the West Bank with the slogan, "Hezbollah, what it did for the Palestinians it can do for you!"
