I didn't realize that Hezbollah was an "abstract ideal." Call me when you see Hezbollah or the Syrian Army take up arms against Al Qaeda. Then, your comparison would have some validity.
I didn't mean to suggest that Hezbollah was an ideal in any way, just that forming an alliance of necessity might be one of our better options for securing peace in Iraq.
Unless, of course, you see us significantly upping our troop level and commitment in the region.
