A gem of an interview with a Hizbollah member of Lebanon's parliament, reflecting generally held middle eastern views.

"...murdering Iraqis, aiming at government organizations, or killing civilians. That is not resistance, and it's not legitimate."

"The party is not against the United States"

"But that does not mean that if we disagree we will resort to imposing our views. For example, right now people see us as dominant in a particular region of the country. Did we impose our way of living on anybody? You see in the [majority Shi'ite] suburbs of Beirut those who are committed and those who are not. You find women with hijabs and others without, and we have no problem with that."

Worth a read at least.
