Six countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, officially list Hezbollah or its external security arm as a terrorist organization, though its designation as such is not unanimous among world powers (perhaps most notably, the European Union).[12] Most in the Arab and Muslim worlds regard Hezbollah as a legitimate resistance movement.

I'm fine with that. I wasn't really looking to argue this. I'll just stick by my beliefs and allow you your's. Peace.

Because some loud talker has an agenda makes what he is saying true? Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. But if it is, it's not just because he says so.

i didn't say what he said was true. i said what you're saying isn't objectively true. only 6 countries have designated them as terrorists. but lately our executive branch really enjoys waving fingers around and yelling out that word. i think it's my responsibility to be incredulous.

all i'm saying is that reasonable people can disagree about such things. given that such disagreements exist, i don't understand why FTP would make this sort of thing a priority.

I agree. Like I said earlier, I probably should have kept my feelings from FT. It was a bit of a heat-of-the-moment thing. However, like Dave said, businesses have a responsibity to their customers, and they have a right to set acceptable standards. This, if FT deemed appropriate, would be an acceptable form of "censorship," if you will, in my opinion. Government censorship??? Now that's a horse of a different color.

our government likes to point the terror finger at anyone who is against what they think is best. They dont like hezbollah because they are attacking Isreal, which is just a puppet US in the middle east. We have them so that we can store nukes there and have full nuclear attack on anyone in the arab countries. How about Canada moves in on your block takes your house and says you have to move to this corner of the city. See if you dont join an anti canada militia. Also George Gallaway is more then a loud talker, go watch the video of him before congress and tell me thats not a smart articulate man. Your making a big stink over your view of an organization that you dont seem to have much knowledge of. their is more to life then what George Bush tells you to believe.

Wasn't hezbollah democratically elected as the leading party in Lebanon after the US 'secured democracy' for the Lebanese people a couple of years ago?

I guess you can have democracy as long as its the kind of democracy WE want you to have!

edit: Oops, sorry I was thinking of Hamas, the OTHER terrorist organization in Lebanon! Hezbollah was only elected to 11% of the parliamentary seats and has 2 ministers in the government.
