Hezbollah as it exists now shouldn't exist. Building a few schools and hospitals can't compare to continued acts of terrorism that only continue the horrible racist violence in the Middle East. If Hezbollah gave up it's militant ways and only did good, then I'd say of course, but they are leading Lebanon into war. It's not fair for a minority of a country to lead the whole country into a needless war (as if any war was needed). Lebanon should get rid of the Hezbollah organization by any reasonable means, and should choose to elect people who AREN'T radicals. I have no problem with Islamic leadership, or even a theocracy, under the right circumstances...but radicals have no business leading anyone. That goes for every country.

Edit: HA! First vote!!
