The last thing I want is another personal insult battle with you, but does that alone give a group legitimacy?
A voter in any country may choose to vote for a party that gives them the best personal chance regardless of a distaste of their overall platform. Others are misinformed, others fear for their lives if they vote a different way. Heck Hussein had 100% results in elections in Iraq but was never legitimate.
I think a group that wants to eradicate a specific group of human beings can never truly be legitimate can they?
I'm not Lebanese, and I certaintly don't know all that goes into voting in that country, and perhaps Hezbollah provides more than just hatred, but it's pretty hard to look past the hatred isn't it?
