Who gets to decide who's a terrorist and who's a freedom fighter.
You should smoke a couple joints and give it some thought.

Done. It did not change a thing. Hezbollah are still designated as terrorists.
In the United States, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, has the authority to designate foreign individuals or entities as terrorists. The State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism monitors the activities of terrorist groups around the world to identify potential targets for designation.
It has been said that "what one person considers a terrorist, another may consider a freedom fighter".
Civilized countries decide which entities are acting like terrorists. My country decides who is terrorizing us.
I believe that Hezbollah are terrorists because the leaders of my country has declared that they are and I still believe in my country. And 60 other countries also believe my country. Right or wrong I am on my country's side. I will criticized my country for the dumb things my leaders do but in the end I will still support it. But in this case I believe they are correct. Would you like a list of all their many terrorist activities? (Google will happily provide.) [one that stands out to me is the U.S. embassy bombing in 1983 killing 305 French and American troops. ]
The US State Department designated Hizballah as a foreign terrorist organization in October 1997. More than 60 other countries and organizations, including the EU, the Arab League, and the Gulf Cooperation Council, have also designated Hizballah"either in part or in its entirety"as a terrorist group.
Maybe you should google all their terrorist activities and smoke a joint and think about it.
