   ....[1]disturbing parallels between the rise of Hitler in Germany and
   the rise of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

     If one studies the rise to power of Hitler in Germany, it becomes
     clear that his ascendance was far from inevitable. There were many
     forces arrayed against him; unfortunately, they were all
     incompetent, miscalculating, double-dealing, or just plain unlucky.
     But it's clear that when Hitler came to power he did not have the
     support of the majority of Germans. Nevertheless, come to power he
     did--and the rest, as they say, is history. And if you read the
     linked article, please note the role of paramilitary groups such as
     the Storm Troopers in his rise, as well as the fatal flaw of an
     extremely weak central government in Germany.
     The combination of the paramilitary Hezbollah troops taking the
     ascendance in Lebanon and the weakness of the Lebanese government
     bodes ill for the future of Lebanon and the world. Like our parents
     and grandparents before us, who watched the events of the 1930's
     unfold, we do indeed live in "interesting times."

   You would think that a world that still remembers two World Wars,
   especially the second one, would know better than to allow this to
   happen, but man is nothing if not foolish.
