Considering the militant wing and the political wing have very little to do with each other its easy to pull the fleece over people's heads who've never bothered to research anything.

You cant forget these guys need to play politics too. Isreals pullout of gaza took away the rallying point for a lot of the anti-Isreal groups. Hezbollah does not want to become a political party, they want to remain a military force. That may explain the foray into Isreal. Get them the attention and press they want, and makes Isreal once again look like the aggressor. I heard an awesome piece on NPR yesterday about Hezzbolah. These are smart guys and are trying to remain legitimate while the world may be truning against them. I hear so much about the "moderate" muslims that are against terrorsim, i dont understand why they do not have a voice. There may come a time when countries like Lebanon wont allow these groups.
