Hamas and Hezbollah

If a country doesn’t want groups like Hamas and Hezbollah to spring up, they must try not to leave serious gaps in their society.

You can see what these two groups have in common.

“In addition to its military wing, the so-called Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade, Hamas devotes much of its estimated $70-million annual budget to an extensive social services network. It funds schools, orphanages, mosques, healthcare clinics, soup kitchens, and sports leagues. "Approximately 90 percent of its work is in social, welfare, cultural, and educational activities," writes the Israeli scholar Reuven Paz.”

Remind you of anything? How about the security gaps that were left in Iraq after the American troops arrived in Baghdad?
