As I said here Hezbollah is a nationalist movement, a poltical organization and civil defense army for the imporverished residents of Lebanon. As Juan Cole succinctly points out; What is Hizbullah?

Political parties working within the governmental structure of the country they are a part of do NOT have their own army and wepons. We are NOT talking about a form of "National Guard" here in that they do not submit themselves to a higher governmental authority.
Hezbollah, through their own statements and actions, is a terrorist organization. They are NOT the government of Lebanon.
Imagine, if you will, a gang of Americans started kidnapping and killing Mexicans in the town of Algodonis across the border from Yuma, Arizona. The government of Mexico launches a protest to this action. This gang of Americans then started lobbing rockets into this Mexico town and our government, the U.S. Government allowed this action to take place.
Is the gang terrorist or a civil defense militia?
Now imangine, that members of this gang are elected members of our U.S. Congress but still kidnap people from across the border in a different country, and continue to lob missles/rockets into this foreign country.
Does this sound like the way real civilized people behave? ... NO, it is a gang commited to terrorist acts!
If this were happening in this country, they would be removed.
With out a real government commitment and power to change things in Lebanon, the Lebanonese government and army have been hijacked by the more powerfully backed gang known as Hezbollah. Until they get rid of their militia, they can not be looked upon as a ligitimate political force. They remain a gang of hate, not of political representation.

Actually it has happened in your country. The Congress and Congressmen were armed and invaded Mexico to create the state of Texas.

Hezbollah is working for a good cause. They crossed the Lebanese-Israeli border because Israel had Hezbollah soldiers in their country. And don't get me talking about how many times Israel has crossed the Lebanese-Israeli border. How many times has Hezbollah, or even Lebanon tried to take Israeli land? None. Hezbollah wanted to get the soldiers back. If you ask me, Israel is the terrorist because they keep invading countries regardless of how many people they murder. They disregard the UN rules, and even kill some UN soliders. Before you talk about Hezbollah, look at the people you are supporting.

A terrorist is like the person who did nine eleven. A person who kills innocents. In our religeon it is "Haram" To kill innocents. but still terrorists do it. Hezbollah did not kill innocents they killed soldiers.

Re-phrasing your metaphor:
Imaging the US invades the silent peaceful country Mexico and starts killing all people just because they are not Americans (from the Israeli side, eliminating all non-Zionists). The Mexicans start resisting the US invaders and fight back for their land, dignity and families. The US keep on attacking them aggressively everyday, launching blockades on them and the Mexicans are *resisting* to stay alive and get back their land.
That's the case in The Occupised Terriroties (Palestine), Southern Lebanon and Occupied Julan
