"Hezbollah Didn't Win" by Amir Taheri

Amir Taheri once again provides useful insight into Middle East issues. In his Wall Street Journal article Mr. Taheri points out that many Shi’ite, Sunni, Druze, and Christian leaders, publishers, and politicians are asking, why Hezbollah started this war with Israel and are seeking more than ever to disband the terrorist group within their state. A quote from Walid Abi-Mershed, a leading Lebanese columnist brings the point to light.

"If Hezbollah won a victory, it was a Pyrrhic one…. They made Lebanon pay too high a price--for which they must be held accountable."

As stated before, while Israel will have to do soul searching to figure out what went wrong on its side, Hezbollah was definitely not a victor in this war and will have to answer to the majority of Lebanese people (who don’t support its terrorist tactics) why it started this war.
