" Next thing ya know y'all be scrawlling "Hezbollah" on your tanks..."
mike, w/all due respect, just as ken kurtis took issue
a while ago w/someone on this bbs for applying the
word 'nazi' to the 'dir' discourse, i would like
you to know that as a muslim woman i take issue
w/your use of the group's name, 'hizbollah'.
briefly, there are actually 2 'hizbollah' groups,
that i am aware of: one in turkey that (don't know
what their beef is), and one in lebanon that is considered by
many worldwide to be a respectable freedom-fighting
group that has successfully driven out a foreign
invading force that had until recently broken
int'l law by illegally occupying lebanon for ~20 years
and bombing u.n. refugee camps there.
you may not understand or agree w/the the philosophy
of the lebanese 'hizbollah', but i would appreciate
it if you could please keep from bringing political
references onto this board, especially those that
you may not be familiar with.
thanx!! much, and happy safe diving to you.
