(Forward) Dan Perry - By killing Hizbullah's chief, Hassan Nasrallah, Israel has done the world, and the Lebanese people, an unequivocal favor. Nasrallah's death marks a major move forward in helping to free Lebanon of Hizbullah's reign of terror. I have many friends in Lebanon and know for a fact that this is one development that the majority of them are happily welcoming. Hizbullah has become the largest non-state military in the world and has repeatedly launched unprovoked attacks on Israel, bringing ruin upon Lebanon's people. It also intervened in the Syrian civil war to keep the war criminal Bashar al-Assad in power. Nasrallah's death should kickstart efforts to comprehensively change the status quo.
