perfidy

The leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, had this to say in a rally back in August of last year:

"The resistance movement [against the U.S. in Iraq] may not be able to remove the U.S. from Iraq within a year, but it will be able to remove Bush, [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld and [National Security Adviser] Condoleezza Rice, together with their Zionist friends, from the White House," [editorial notes in the original Haaretz article]

The article has a lot of detail on the relationship between Hezbollah and Syria, and both groups activities in Lebanon, Iraq and elsewhere. Read the whole thing, as they say. But this quote is interesting. At least one terror group is convinced that a new administration in Washington would lead to a more salubrious climate for their activities. That is a strong argument for voting against whoever ends up the Democratic nominee.
