Mohammad, a 40-year old Lebanese Shiite who lives in Hezbollah's stronghold in Beirut's southern suburbs, was holding forth on the virtues of resistance, loyalty, and sex. "You could create the most loyal army by providing political power, social services and fulfilling the desires of your men -- namely, sexual ones," he declared.
"And Hezbollah has been very successful in this regard," Mohammad continued. It is hard to disagree. Hezbollah liberated South Lebanon from Israeli occupation, expanded the Shiite community's political power within the country, and has provided social services, such as health care and education, to its constituency since the 1980s. Today, it is also working to fulfill the sexual needs of its supporters, though a practice known as mutaa marriage.
And just yesterday the Lebanese government gave its official approval to Hezbollah's activities, in contradiction to all UN security council resolutions on the subject.
You forgot to add that Bush was responsible for this.
In a way he kinda is. Iran offered to give up its nuclear program and stop supporting terrorism shortly after Bush invaded Iraq if he would have given them a guarantee not to invade them. Bush refused and later Iran saw all the problems we were having with Iraq and withdrew the offer.

U N resolutions don't mean squat.
Here's my answer:

Just goes to show that the Iranian regime won't stop its nuke weapons program unless it seriously believes that it will be attacked as a consequence.
The Iranian crazies and their Hezbollah proxy can only be dealt with militarily.
Yeah, Hezbollah its not prostitution if you call it mutaa marriage.
nice piece of propaganda.
Tell me is Austin still the frontier hub of intellectual curiousity?
