Irans creation, Hezbollah, has grown well beyond its Lebanese sandbox. Hezbollah fighters, well trained and wellfunded by Iranian sponsors are everywhere. Like a booming franchise business, there are Lebanese Hezbollah, the iraqi Hezbollah, the Venezuelan Hezbollah, the kurdish Hezbollah and likely more to come.Hezbollah backs Hamas in gaza, insurgents in iraq, and the taliban in afghanistan, and has expanded to latin America. Its membership is growing and hezbollah has become Iran's away team training other terrorist- Sunni and Shia- while gleaning lessons on how Isreal and the west fight.A measurement of its ascendance is that Hassan Nasrallah has surpassed bin laden as a hero among the ummah( community of believers).
Big whoop. If this is true, it's a big improvement. Nasrallah is much less of a nut than bin Laden and his pals. He can be negotiated with.
