    I mean, he was killed by Hezbollah. Might as well ask them to stop occupying Lebanon too, but I doubt either will happen.

        They’re only legal because they’re too strong for the Lebanese government to disarm. Thanks, Iran.

          Yeah, if you look at the history of Hezbollah, it looks a lot like an occupying force backed by Iran. It’s obviously more complicated than that, but Lebanon has gotten the shaft from all sides on this and has very little self autonomy.

            Hey, Iran couldn’t bomb a Jewish center in Argentina on their own, could they?
