Should Hezbollah Be Next? by Daniel Byman. Foreign Affairs, November/December 2003. See also: Hezbollah’s Dilemma, an April 13, 2005 update to the original article.
Summary: The radical Lebanese Shi’ite movement Hezbollah is fomenting violence in post-war Iraq and fanning the flames of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Its bloody track record makes it a natural target in the war on terror. But Washington’s only option is to confront Hezbollah indirectly: by getting its backers, Syria and Iran, to help change its focus from militancy to politics.
