Interesting documentary about Hezbollah, their use of propaganda, and its effects on different groups. Whether you agree with them or don't, it's pretty fascinating. Worth a watch for those interested in the region.

Yeah, Vice is great.
I haven't seen their print magazine in a long time...not sure if they still have it, but it had terrific articles and photos on all things sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. The fashion do's and don'ts were funny sometimes too.
I'll watch this Hezbollah shit tonight...thanks.

This was enlightening. The USA puts a zillion dollars into winning the hearts and minds of whomever and I've never seen anything giving a hint that we're getting a positive ROI.
