It's good to see the US accept a dose of realism in the Middle East.
Hizbullah is a political fact in Lebanon. Just as the US accepted a
terrorist organization like the IRA it now has grudgingly accepted
Hizbullah's political role in Lebanon. Same goes for erstwhile
terrorists that now are accepted politicians around the world. Just as
the US has accepted former terrorists in the Israeli government it is
only right that they take the same view of other terrorist
organizations that try to become political mainstream. Good for them.
One can only wish that other governments were also more realistic in
other areas in the Middle East.
