This is scary stuff. Yet, MSNBC is the only "major" network that I have seen giving this story any coverage so far.

CIUDAD DEL ESTE, Paraguay - The Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia has taken root in South America, fostering a well-financed force of Islamist radicals boiling with hatred for the United States and ready to die to prove it, according to militia members, U.S. officials and police agencies across the continent.

From its Western base in a remote region divided by the borders of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina known as the Tri-border, or the Triple Frontier, Hezbollah has mined the frustrations of many Muslims among about 25,000 Arab residents whose families immigrated mainly from Lebanon in two waves, after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and after the 1985 Lebanese civil war.

An investigation by Telemundo and NBC News has uncovered details of an extensive smuggling network run by Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group founded in Lebanon in 1982 that the United States has labeled an international terrorist organization. The operation funnels large sums of money to militia leaders in the Middle East and finances training camps, propaganda operations and bomb attacks in South America, according to U.S. and South American officials.

This is yet another example of why it is important to win in Iraq. However, it is also proof that "fighting them over there" doesn't necessarily mean we won't have to fight them over here. Our elected officials need to sit down and come up with a strategy that is acceptable to the American people so we can begin to concentrate our efforts on terrorism in our own backyard. Meanwhile, Democratic Congressmen and a Republican President refuse to do anything about our broken borders. What exactly is stopping an entire Hezbollah cell from using the same routes into America that illegal aliens use?

I encourage you to read the entire article. It's a pretty good read.
