In Iran, Aid to Hizballah Stirs Resentment
[New York Times] Michael Slackman - There is a huge amount of anger in Tehran about what is happening in Lebanon. "Of course I am angry," said Hamid Akbari, 30, a deliveryman. "All our income is going to Palestine and Hizballah." For decades, Iran has been Hizballah's prime patron, helping create it as a Shiite Muslim militia and then nurture it with money, expertise, and weapons. In interviews in central Tehran Saturday, person after person said Iran should worry about Iran's problems and not be dragged down by others' battles.
