Near the entrance of the site I see a large colorful tent set up, with music pouring out. I walk in, not realizing that what I've stumbled upon is a Hezbollah fundraising exhibition. But with the photos of smashed Israeli army tanks, weeping Palestinian children and triumphant jihadists that becomes apparent pretty quickly. And if that's not enough, then there's the backroom with the coffin in the center surrounded by photos of dozens of martyrs, as in suicide bombers.Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:43:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/10/28/november.ime/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/10/28/november.ime/index.html#cnnSTCTextThe Cedars of Lebanon A priceless commodity; they symbolize a nation, and once even sparked a revolution.
