    How can you even consider putting a terrorist on a pedestal as the most influential and a hero, what kind of people are you.
    Therefore you support terrorism yourselves.

      Terrorist? You call these free men terrorists?
      After occupying their land for 50 years, bulldozing their homes. tearing the roots of their trees, these "terrorists" have accepted peace only to be ruled out of it later on when the israelis got more hungry for land. They accepted cease fire only to be shot later on. They demanded peace as their cities were being burnt to the ground. And now and after another 6 months of siege and starvation, these poor fathers stood up for their imprisoned fathers, their kidnapped daughters, their tortured brothers, and their dead sons and decided to say "NO!"

      If after all the what the world has been through, you still cant diffrintiate freedom from terrorism, then you will never diffrentiate peace from slavery.

    The comment posted by Mr DanielIM is deplorabel. The person who is not accepting the hegmony of Israil in middle east and who is fighting for the right of his people Shia,sunni,daroz,christians without discrimination is terrorist in your eyes. Shame on you and your leaders who are responsible for more than a million deaths in Iraq and million throughout the world.

    The extraordinary knowledge about Mideast affairs the one who wrote about Mr. Nasrallah clearly enjoys is conspicuous as he says Nasrallah was "the man who launched a war against Israel in 2006". I wish he could elaborate more on that. Nevertheless, I cannot but admire his and his colleagues' desperate attempts to tarnish Nasrallah's image through the "big brother" assimilation to insinuate an atmosphere of dictatorship and despotism plus the order they used in listing Nasrallah's name just after that of bin Laden. Try to do better next time. Oh by the way I'm sure those who know a little bit about Mideast laughed to tears when they saw you put Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan as your 25th man and Nasrallah 43. Please have a little respect to our intelligence as readers.

    How can you consider putting a TERRORIST on a pedestal by calling him " the most influencial Shiite Muslim" Have you no shame. He is an assassin by killing women and children and by evading Israel in 2006 you call him a hero.
    Who will you put next year as a hero: " Osama Bin Laden" By evading our government for so long?
