Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Hezbollah, a militant-terrorist organization. According to the paper, Hezbollah is the driving force behind marches and organizing people in Lebanon and in Palestine in its never ending quest to make war on Israel. The paper further reports that the problem is that Hezbollah seems much better at social agendas than at political ones.
Outline:
Introduction
Social Agenda
Economically
The Murder of Rafik Hariri
2006 Showdown Between Hezbollah, Syria, Iran and Israel
From the Paper
"This could perhaps be perceived as Hezbollah's attempt to take a giant leap forward in its political representation of Lebanon, and to firmly establish itself in that country in a way that would be the precursor to installing a theocratic Islamic state. There is the possibility, too, that Tehran was running short of patience with the slow progress in that direction, and wanted immediately to create a recognized and forceful extension of itself in Lebanon, and thusly be well positioned geographically to confront the issues of Israel and the American presence in Iraq. This is speculation, since there is no way of knowing exactly what was said and done between Hezbollah and Tehran at that time. What is undeniably clear is the destruction and death that followed."

Abstract
This paper examines the threat posed by Hezbollah and the methods in which it operates, along with its ideology and that of the region which allows it to operate with such impunity. The paper explores the motivation and goals of Hezbollah, the tactics and strategies of the organization, including previous terrorist attacks. The paper then looks at the Lebanon's reaction to Hezbollah and ways of addressing this threat. The paper also discusses world security. In conclusion, the writer suggests that financial support cuts and other sanctions should be imposed on Lebanon for as long as it continues to endorse Hezbollah and its terrorist actions (whether implicit or explicit) by allowing the organization to operate within its borders. Otherwise, future attacks are inevitable and the security of the United States and it allies will continually be at risk from this organization.
Outline:
History and Motivation of the Organization
Tactics and Techniques of Terrorism
Response of the Government and Counteraction
From the Paper
"Hizbollah was formed in 1982 in response to the war in Lebanon regarding political disputes with Israel and the subsequent Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon. The founders of the organization wanted to more fully support Islamic fundamentalism as well as remove Israel from the country, and they believed that apathy and a lack of religious devotion to fundamentalist principles were significant problems in Lebanon. Although the stated principle of the conflict were to remove Israel from the area and to establish "Peace for Galilee," some scholars have noted that "it would have been more honest to call the war to safeguard the occupation of the West Bank," asserting that Israel acted in the area not to promote peace but to protect its own territory."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that one of the most difficult issues involved with prosecuting the ongoing war on global terrorism has been identifying and eliminating the funding sources for terrorist groups. The paper then attempts to determine how the diamond trade in the nations of West Africa is being used to help finance terrorist organizations in general and Hezbollah in particular. The writer points out that while the diamond trade in West Africa has been legitimized and careful controls implemented over the years, analysts believe that as much as 20 percent of the world's diamond supply continues to be of an illicit nature. Furthermore, the writer notes that analysts also believe that some terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, are receiving at least some of their funding through the illicit trading in diamonds among the nations of West Africa, particularly Sierra Leone.

From the Paper
"An international certification process for rough diamonds, known as the Kimberley Process, was initiated by the Government of South Africa in May 2000; since that time, there has been more and more participation among the regional stakeholders and to date, more than 35 nations have been meeting on a regular basis to develop the system, which was established in 2003. In Sierra Leone, the diamond certification system was instituted in October 2000, four months after the UN Security Council passed a resolution that banned diamond exports until a certification system was established; during the year that followed after the system was introduced, legal exports increased from $1.3 million to $25.9 million worth of diamonds; nevertheless, authorities continue to believe that many of the better quality diamonds are still being smuggled and are not going through the official certification system."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The bitterness between the two sides notwithstanding, Pascual writes that Lebanon must address three "enormous challenges." Those three are, to first "mitigate the immediate impacts of war so those returning to destroyed homes and livelihoods can begin to rebuild their lives." That is going to be an unbelievable task, since the Brookings Institute (a nonprofit organization that has international influence on policy decisions) reports that the recent war "displaced 1 million people, a quarter of Lebanon's population," and it destroyed 30,000 housing units. It also destroyed "crops and tourism" in the southern part of Lebanon, taking away two "main sources of income" for Lebanese citizens. The second major challenge is to build "critical social, economic and physical infrastructure," Pascual asserted. To do this, around $3.5 billion will be needed, and the focus should be on "putting to work Lebanon's strongest asset: the private sector. "

Hezbollah: Israeli/Arab Enmity, 2007.
This paper examines the history and ideology of Hezbollah.

Abstract
The paper examines Israeli/Arab enmity in the Middle East and the problem of religious extremism. The paper discusses the need for true democratization to emerge in Muslim states and for the replacement of current corrupt political systems controlled by leaders who manipulate their people in order to demonize Israel and maintain their power. The paper maintains that American and Israeli policies have been counterproductive, for they have radicalized millions of Muslims, who have responded with unprecedented support for extremist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
From the Paper
"Examining the history and ideology of Hezbollah indicates that there is much merit to the accusations of the American and Israeli governments that it is a terrorist organization led by religious fanatics intent upon the destruction of Israel. In response, the leaders of Hezbollah and its supporters and sympathizers reject accusations that they are terrorists and religious fanatics, and insist that Hezbollah and similar groups such as Hamas are simply defending the rights of Muslims against American and Israeli aggression."
"As is the case with most controversies, the truth is somewhere in the middle, for the philosophical observation that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter certainly applies in the context of current Middle East unrest. According to Military.com (2006) Hezbollah's emergence in the aftermath of the Israeli occupation of Beirut and southern Lebanon in 1982 reflects these diametrically opposed perceptions, for it was due to the determination of Shi'ite Muslims to resist the Israeli presence and support Palestinians in their fight for statehood."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The moderate former President Khatami tried to improve Iran's relations with the US as Iran even encouraged its allies in Afghanistan to co-operate with the Americans the Taliban regime after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The relations again turned sour as President Bush declared Iran as part of the "axis of evil." For a short while after the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003, the Iranian regime seemed to be intimidated at the prospect of a similar pre-emptive operation by the US against Iran (Schwartz). The fear was reflected in its sudden start of negotiations with the EU on ending Iran's nuclear program. The window of opportunity was, however, lost when the US insisted on a regime change and the determined insurgency in Iraq took root. The marked difference in behavior of the US against states that had nuclear capability (e.g., North Korea) and those which did not, also convinced the Iranians about the advantage of acquiring a nuclear deterrence; hence the current stand-off on the Iranian nuclear program between Iran and US."

Abstract
This paper examines three of the most prominent terrorist groups today. The paper provides background information on Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Abu Nidal and describes the similarities and differences between these groups in an effort to explain their possible motivations.
From the Paper
"Since September 11th, terrorism is one of the most significant topics for Americans today. September 11th shattered American's view that they were somehow protected within the confines of their country borders. Although attacks had been made on Americans, in the past, these were still somehow disjointed from the American experience, and as such, did not have the powerful effect that the strikes on America, on that fateful Fall day, did."

Abstract
This paper explains that the unprecedented impact of 9/11 on the consciousness of America and the international community is a new kind of globalized fear surrounding security, which is the product of shared cultural, political and technological factors characterizing the globalized world against another distinct culture, which aims to destroy rather than build or maintain life. The author points out the interrelationship of countries by relating that Arafat's Palestinian Authority documents unmistakably showed that the PA received money from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq, which then was given to terrorist commanders for acts of terrorism against Israelis. The paper relates that the FBI categorizes international terrorism in the U.S. into three categories: (1) Activities of foreign sponsors, such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Cuba and North Korea, which used terrorism as an operational tool of foreign policy in the past; (2) formalized terrorist groups, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah, Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiyya of Egypt and the HAMAS of Palestine and (3) loosely affiliated international radical extremists who do not represent a particular country, such as those behind the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 in New York City.
From the Paper
"Developments in the international scene have enabled mass-casualty terrorism. Perceived and gross inequalities in economic resources and standards of living among nations in the world have motivated international terrorism and determined the level of ferocity and viciousness of attacks. Poverty was often blamed as the main cause of domestic terrorism, although there appears no "comprehensive correlation between" poverty and terrorism. But it is different in the international scenario. Free-market globalization gave the Islamic world access to Western values and institutions and this offers explanation for the growth of international terrorism, which is the weaker party's occasion to hit back."

Abstract
This paper discusses the political strife, civil wars and social and economic chaos that have been a part of Lebanon's history almost since the country achieved its independence in 1941. The paper also looks at past leaders of Lebanon who were assassinated, tensions between Lebanon and its neighbors, Syria and Israel, and the persistent problem created by radical Palestinians and Hezbollah members who reside with Lebanon.
From the Paper
"In 1975, an even worse civil war broke out, and it is estimated (Brunner 808) that some 40,000 Lebanese of all religious persuasions, were killed. Again, there was an uneasy truce, with a lot of political shuffling among the politicians who wanted to, or claimed, they had the power to rule. "Civil war erupted again in 1983. From 1987 to 1990, fighting was heavy and thousands died. The government could not operate normally or sponsor elections for parliament, which was last elected in 1972. Amin Gamayel became president after Bashir Gamayel was assassinated in 1982. He served until 1988, when General Michel Aoun took control of the government. Aoun, a Maronite, ordered parliament dissolved in 1989. However, parliament did not recognize his authority and elected Rene Moawad president. He was assassinated a few days later by Aoun loyalists. Elias Hrawi was then elected president of Lebanon. Aoun was dismissed, but he continued to battle rival Christian forces" (CultureGram 2006 2). Worse yet, Beirut, the capital was bitterly dfivided, and a "Green Line"was drawn up separating the city into East and West sides, who did not want to interact with one another."

"Amongst the various different methods they tried to use, they used the Internet to publicise their plight of governmental oppression, and mistreatment, to enlist the international sanctions applied to the Mexican Government. The government relented into giving the indigenous people back their lands and allowing them to form back into the tribes that they wanted to go to. They used the Internet in a positive manner and gained international support. Where as the Israeli and Palestinian factions that use the Internet have now used ?Hacktivism? to attack websites and each other via the use of website graffiti, denial of service attacks and propaganda websites in a cyber-war."
