Hezbollah gits thar the fustest with the mostest
And that is giving the Bush relief efforts, never the most vigorous after a disaster, the heebie-jeebies. Clever Republican law making denies the use of any assistance from a designated terrorist group like Hezbollah. That is a real problem in Lebanon, when they are everywhere. This may not be a problem for long when you have situations like this.
Heckuva job, Bushie!
“We are going to turn this city into a model city,” Mr. Bazzi said, his arm clutching a trademark Hezbollah two-way radio. “There will be streets organized in grids, parks in every neighborhood and apartment blocks.”Israel, with the encouragement of Our Dear Embattled Leader, seems to have given a huge boost to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Far from weakening the Hezb, they have cemented its position in the south and probably throughout Lebanon and the region.
Bint Jbail, the main Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon, saw some of the worst bombing and fighting during the monthlong war, in which Hezbollah, which is integrated with the general population, was Israel’s target. But Mr. Bazzi intends to complete the reconstruction without using a single cent from the Lebanese government, much less the United States or the West.
Instead, Mr. Bazzi is counting on Construction Jihad. Just a day after the fighting stopped, Construction Jihad enlisted the volunteer services of 1,700 engineers, electricians, plumbers, architects and geologists who have cleared streets, dug ditches and built temporary bridges.
While the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has just begun organizing committees to study the reconstruction of the country, Construction Jihad has all but completed surveys of southern Lebanese towns.
“We were victorious over Israel,” said Mr. Bazzi. “Now we have to rise to the occasion that follows.”

Now if we could only recruit Hizbullah to rebuild New Orleans, New Orleans would already have Category 5 storm protection from new levees and otherwise be the showcase of the Gulf Coast...
