The Hezbollah Model Revisited

Following up on my previous post, here's a piece I co-authored with Mara Karlin that appeared in the Washington Times today.

I guess it was a fitting coincidence that it was published on the anniversary of Hezbollah's 1983 attack on the US Marine Barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 American servicemen.

The Hezbollah Model in Afghanistan?

Over at the MESH blog, Matt Levitt has an excellent post on a recent report in the Washington Post that "[s]ome inside the White House have cited Hezbollah, the armed Lebanese political movement, as an example of what the Taliban could become."

Make sure you read Levitt's post, and then check out my own comment there.
