And 25% of the population believes Hezbollah is a humanitarian organization 
- because that's what the "non-biased" media (CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC, 
etc., etc., ad nauseum, adfinitum) tells them.  At least Fox tells you what 
their bias is, as oppposed to the many anti-semitic organizations that 
claim neutrality but blame Israel for all the problems in the world and 
report Hezbollah propaganda as if ti was "news" without even bothering to 
check to see if it's true.
