Last week, a cross-border raid by the radical Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah embroiled Israel and Lebanon in an escalating conflict. In 2002, [The New Yorker's] Jeffrey Goldberg wrote a two-part article examining Hezbollah, which he called "the most successful terrorist organization in modern history." Read part_one and part_two.

The area in which Hezbollah makes its home is saturated with pictures of radical Islamic clerics including Ayatollah Khomeini, which casts doubt upon whether Hezbollah is hiding out among innocent civilians or the entire community is Hezbollah.

The articles are long but well written and slightly more believable than the fans of terror we're seeing show up on the guest list.
