Mount_amel, I'm not sure what do you mean by "shomoolyoon"; What I'm saying is that some parties which are more liberal than others, and clerical religious parties (such as Hezbollah or Hezb Al Tahrir) certainly rank at the bottom of the scale.

I'm not sure how the organization of a party or a group could be used as an argument for or against it in this context. Now regarding giving one's life argument, it doesn't prove much in my opinion. Again, groups such as Fateh El Islam, Taliban, Hamas, Qaeda and the so called Iraqi resistance are also wiling, at any time, to give their life away to resist (each upon his conviction); The act per se is not something to be lauded; The context, the motives, and the purpose -of the individuals and the organizations behind them- are first to be considered. About the case of Hezbollah, it's not a resistance for almost 9 years already, but it still insists on perpetuating war to keep its "raison d'etre". Many other parties did resist (each for a cause) throughout Lebanon's short history, but that should be no justification for any of them to have arms.

mount_amel, I personally am vehemently against Hezbollah's ideology and political practices, but it being part of the government or political system is the choice of the Lebanese people; If they elect them (based on a fair election law), then they're in. But for that to happen, there are some pre-requisites, such as Hezbollah disarming, dismantling its militia or military branch and denouncing violence.
Now about integrating Hezbollah in the army, that's an idea to be discussed, and its feasibility is disputable. Of course, a similar thing (integration) would entail a whole revamp of the ideology of Hezbollah's fighters and their allegiance.
