Hezbollah never sent suicide bombers to discos, as far as I know. When
Israel was invading Lebanon, it did retaliate using rockets against Israel,
often hitting civilians. It also blew up a lot of Israeli occupation
soldiers. But I don't think of that stuff as a merely "smaller scale"
version of what Mohammed Atta did. Besides, it's been over with for years.
So I still think some explanation is needed for why Hezbollah is being
targeted by the US "war against terror" while the Israeli veterans of Lehi
and Stern aren't.
