yeah, and now, Hezbollah (sic) has gained a prominent place in the American vernacular, as has the term "Jihad". Both seem to have evolved into slang terms referring to a fanatic, belief driven conflict, and the cultural origins of these two new (to the American lexicon) words will be forgotten to most in a generation or so. Ah does language and culture evolve!
perhaps, REDRUM would have been politically correct?
