As I see it, HizbAllah is an arm of Syria and Iran. Syria got kicked out, so HizbAllah, with its pro-Syrian agenda, is their greatest chance of influencing Lebanese politics without actually occupying the country. Iran simply just supports it in any way it can because it's their own invention and they, as much as all other Arab nations, wants Israel destroyed. You know, it's like the Arab dictatorships that are all around Israel: If they didn't give money to HizbAllah, etc, they wouldn't be fighting the very enemy that they tell their people everyday that they have to fight. That's one of the reasons why a lot of Arabs live in poverty, I think... I mean, it's this: In order to survive as a dictator, you must rally your population against something that isn't you. After all, you haven't comitted mass-murder on your own people, you're just Arab like them. See, Israel is the REAL enemy, not me, the dictator who's the main reason that your life is in the gutter. You see I have to send all the money that was intended for the welfare of your and your family to Hamas, HizbAllah, Tanzim, the PLO, etc, to get rid of the REAL problem, which is the evil blood-drinking, child killing, mass-murdering Yahud and Amrikaan.
