Hizbullah Is Bruised
(NOW-Lebanon) Hussain Abdul-Hussain - Syria's war has taken a toll on Hizbullah. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Lebanon's Shiite population is thinning out as families search for better lives away from the "society of resistance" and its perpetual war. Today, there is hardly a Shiite village that has not lost a dozen or more of its men. Sooner or later, Hizbullah will run out of men to recruit. In Lebanon, Shiites number one million, a quarter of the population. The disparity in numbers that clearly favors the Sunnis in the Levant is beginning to catch up with Hizbullah. The writer is Washington bureau chief of the Kuwaiti newspaper Alrai.
