Party Politics? Too slow!! Become a terrorist!!

It seems more and more people around the world want Hezbollah recognized. As what I'm not sure, but people want them recognized.
Apparently they have built their prestige to such a point, they are seen as a future government of the region. In their function of conduits of Syrian and Iranian funds into the region, they have played a quasi-government role. I suppose they have a policy of, for each gun or rocket launcher they receive, they must funnel a certain percentage into the "hearts and minds campaign".
Of course Hezbollah started as a purely terrorist organization. The more successful they became at being terrorists the closer they came to the game of politics.

Time Warp.

The Nazi party is still seen as the most evil organization of the 20th Century. Strangely I'm always reminding people that they were voted into the Reichstag. They started as a group of thugs who attempted various coups to get into power, but eventually got wise and realized they could use Democracy to implement Totalitarianism. Two of their major policies were revenge and destruction of the Jews.

Time Warp.

Hezbollah are getting support from all corners of the world. If Lebanon has an election in the not too distant future, Hezbollah will gain a huge amount of influence, if not Government control. (Some may claim they do anyway, as they are unlikely to be disarmed). People are claiming Hezbollah are rebuilding Lebanon.

Time Warp.

Hitler was extremely popular before the start of WW2. He was given credit for rebuilding Germany from the Ashes of WW1.

It seems the only good terrorist organization is a successful one. Ignorant people who blindly support Hezbollah, have no idea about their bloodthirsty history. The Romantic image of them being "freedom fighters" is one that must be debunked.
How can the world forget History?
Even when it is unfolding in their face?

I suppose we'll find out the hard way.
