"US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman said in a Wednesday interview on Al-Jazeera television that Hezbollah endangers the Lebanese people and does not comply with international resolutions. He called on the Lebanese army to assert the government’s authority over all the country’s territory, adding that Hezbollah exerts its power in areas where the government has no control.
Feltman also said that his country respects the right of the Lebanese to freely elect their representatives to the parliament, adding that Hezbollah participates in the Lebanese government, but said the US does not maintain ties with the party. Feltman added that his country’s animosity with Hezbollah dates back to the 1980s, when, according to him, Hezbollah killed a number of US citizens in Lebanon."

As the commentator who said that Feltman was demonstrating sanity for the first time, I fucking well take it back.
On the otherhand, it could be that the Hasbara Brigade got to him.
Oh, and what about the Lebanese citizens that the Americans killed in Lebanon in the 1980s.
