You're getting caught up in trying to knock Hanson - an always excellent read in my opinion - and ignoring the implications of Dingell's viewpoint. That somehow, the terrorists and Israel are on equal footing.

What Dingell said is that Hezbollah has a measure of political influence and that the Arab community in Lebanon views it as having some legitimacy, therefore, if there is going to be a negotiated peace, Hezbollah will need to have a place at the table. He also condemned their acts of terrorism. He said nothing more, and nothing less.
You're sounding like junior high, when it wasn't enough to just be one of the cool kids, you had to badmouth the dorks to stay cool.
