Reply #25: This is why you go after the bad guys, not their neighbors. [View All]

Because if I wasn't mindful of collateral damage and was going after the crack dealer, I might get you in the line of fire.

Now, "interloper" isn't something that's defined by job description. If the crack dealer moved into your community to sell his dope, I can understand calling him an interloper. If, on the other hand, he lived in your community all his life and simply gravitated to selling crack as a career path, he is a local, no matter how distasteful he may be. Similarly, Hezbollah is composed of locals, not interlopers, regardless of their support from Syria and Iran. I'm fine with calling Hezbollah a lot of bad things if those bad things are accurate; interloper, seems to be a very poor word to use for them, implying that they are a foreign and not a domestic entity (however ruinous to their neighbors).
