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.

where's that nice little table with all the groups in the mid east and how they all relate? it was posted in the last couple of years...

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.
