Distorted views

I suspect — and I’m obviously no expert — that approaches to the Middle East like this are seriously flawed, making assumptions about groups like Hezbollah and Hamas that just don’t stand up to reality. The assumption that seems to be unlying this editorial in the Times is that Hezbollah has no legitimacy — something that seems contradicted by nearly everything I read. We may not like it, but we will probably have to deal with Hezbollah and Hamas if we want a resolution in the Middle East.
