Thanks for the link Ustwo. Perhaps to avoid some people taking your edited extract on face value, we should clarify the following:
1) It's based on an open letter to an Israeli paper.
2) You didn't quote the section specifically called "Objectives"
3) The portion above that you did quote, in fact was
not published in the letter, and does not appear on any Hezbollah websites or publications. This is admitted on the page itself.
Now, for the section that actually states the objectives:
Quote:
Our Objectives
Let us put it truthfully: the sons of Hizhallah know who are their major enemies in the Middle East - the Phalanges, Israel, France and the US. The sons of our umma are now in a state of growing confrontation with them, and will remain so until the realization of the following three objectives:
(a) to expel the Americans. the French and their allies definitely from Lebanon, putting an end to any colonialist entity on our land;
(b) to submit the Phalanges to a just power and bring them all to justice for the crimes they have perpetrated against Muslims and Christians;
(c) to permit all the sons of our people to determine their future and to choose in all the liberty the form of government they desire. We call upon all of them to pick the option of Islamic government which, alone, is capable of guaranteeing justice and liberty for all. Only an Islamic regime can stop any further tentative attempts of imperialistic infiltration into our country.

You're right. This
IS too easy.
Finally, there's a very interesting article on Hezbollah and its goals by the Guardian. You may want to read it.

You seem to want to paint me as some kind of supporter of them. Nothing could be further from the truth. I just happen to actively dislike Hamas more.
