Like your government doesn't do that too?

What's wrong with receiving funding from Iran? The exact same thing that
is wrong with any country accepting foreign aid from us (as percieved by
our enemies).

Admittedly, we don't counterfeit currency - we just print more as needed,
or kite checks (aka selling Treasury bonds).

The case can be made that putting ammo dumps there is actually *saving*
human life, because the Hezbollah people know we won't bomb a school.  If they
put the dumps out where we'd be tempted to bomb them, the resulting
explosion could easily kill and maim people for a long distance around.

So it's just Hezbollah removing the temptation from us to kill everybody in
a half-mile radius. :)

And our leadership didn't spew hatred in order to get the War on Terror going?

Pot, Kettle, you call the color, Paul.
