sure. i don't believe they are exactly Greenpeace, but i'll let others chime in first on who they believe Hizbullah is.

I think they're nothing but puppets for Iran and Syria, and are an all-out terrorist organization. Wait, appearantly I'm not alone - the EU and America see them even worse then I do.

I never said a "peace group". Nor was I asking what Hezbollah is. I'm specifically asking whether Hezbollah is a grass roots organization since you seem to disagree...

Of course. If you go through some of the articles I posted, the Middle East widely regards hezbollah as a resistance movement, while outside, government positions are mixed..

Even the LEBANESE GOVERNMENT considers Hezbollah as a legitimate resistance against occupation.

I really don't understand Q, how Hezbollah can't not be grass roots.

Grass roots organisations don�t need to ask for permission further up the chain of command to do things. As far as I know hezbollah pass plans via iran for their seal of approval.
