It's nice to see Hezbollah helping to (re)build the infrastructure of Lebanon. I must voice my concern, however, of where the money is coming from (Syria? Iran?) as well as how much of that rebuilding is being done to gain sympathy for when it comes time to disarm. Why would Hezbollah want to disarm if they have the support of the locals (which, they already do...)?
Proud for martyrs? In my opinion, most martyrs aren't paying a price for freedom. Instead, they're paying a price for publicity.

AFAIK, there are limits to what kinds of guns civilians can own. I do not (for example) believe that you can actually legally own a morter, any missiles, or any other such weapons that are plainly designed for offense rather than defense. Also, none of our militias go across borders and abduct other countries' citizens.
