Noam Chomsky, Fred Halliday, Norm Finkelstein and others who self-identify as progessive thinkers in the US have a soft spot for the Party of God (Hezbollah, not the GOP). The Money Quote from Michael Young's piece in Reason:
The party, though it is religious, autocratic, and armed to the teeth, often elicits approval from secular, liberal Westerners who otherwise share nothing of its values.
PS if there is any doubt that Hezbollah has ties to the Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guard Corps, one need look no further than the Padaran's own flag which too is emblazoned with the fist of God clutching a Kalash.
