No, it isn't. Hizb'allah denied any involvement with the Beirut bombing;

Your post also contains the proviso of 'before 9/11'. jpsartre's claim did not.

Where's your independent source for Hizb'allah's history ? Like I said, the UN, the EU and Russia do NOT list Hizb'allah as a 'terrorist' group, as far as I can discover. Why would that be if there was no doubt about their having 'killed more Americans' than anybody else ?

Oh yeah, and don't quote George W. Bush as if the muppet knows what he's talking about, outside of the oil business.

You're correct, I should have said pre-9/11, but that doesn't change the fact that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and is recognized as such by the US, EU

As for Russia, again you shade the truth:

Those links only show that Hizb'allah is listed as a 'terrorist' organisation by the US. Your point was though that 'they' had killed more Americans than anybody else. I see no proof of that either.

Wow! A selective reader to be sure.
First, there are links above giving the EU's position. There is also one explaining why the Russians don't list it as a terrorist organization.
Second, I admitted that I should have qualified my original statement to say pre-9/11, or are you disputing that they have killed more Americans pre-9/11 than any other terrorist organization?

I'm not really interested in discussing why your links don't support your claims, suffice to say that they don't.

Moon, Why are you not aknowledging the entirety of JP's post's? Either you agree, or disagree, but what I read here is disjointed.....

This is where you are wrong. He has no sense of reality. That is why he feels comfortable cherry picking your links. The man talks from where the sun rarely ever shines, although in his case since he uses it as a mouth I am pretty sure it gets more sunlight than most of the rest of ours do.
