Yes, I'm serious. I'm not saying that UCD *is* Hezbollah, but that if you follow the logic of what some people are saying about who gets to determine what UCD is and does, it could go that way -- and who could say any different? Only by bringing in some of the other principles can we have something to brake that tendency. But maybe Hezbollah isn't the best example. I'm remembering twenty years ago when the private militia were just getting more active in Lebanon. Hezbollah is an outgrowth of that period, and now of course they are now in government, and there are some checks and balances -- but barely. Last summer we saw an example of that one organization carrying on its own war, basically, without bearing responsibility to the wider community. I find your analogy, for its ability to polarize, stunningly inappropriate. If traditional modeling for insurgentcy organizing tactics are to be applied, the insurgents would more appropriately be The Anti-BID Party, who have yet to be awarded any seats from which to affect policy at the UCD's table of power.
