			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/08/347679.html">widely reported</a>, Hezbollah&#8217;s vast network of social welfare services has played an integral role in cultivating the loyalty and support it receives from the Lebanese people.</p>
<p>However, Hezbollah leader Sheik Nasrallah has apparently become &#8220;fed up&#8221; with the large number of idle men sitting around in cafes, watching repeats of Al Jazeera&#8217;s SportsCenter and smoking water pipes. The Sheik has therefore issued an edict to &#8220;blow up welfare as we know it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nasrallah related anecdotes about a Lebanese &#8220;welfare queen&#8221; who ripped off $150,000 from a mosque, using¬†80 aliases, all ending with the name Mohammed, as well as¬†four fictional dead husbands, a clear red-flag in a culture where it is the men who have multiple spouses.¬† The &#8220;Welfare Queen&#8221; loading her hummus into a Hummer has¬†now become permanently lodged in Lebanese political folklore.</p>
<p>Under the new plan, alternatively known as the &#8220;Third Century Way,&#8221; or &#8220;Welfare to Warfare,&#8221; all recipients of Hezbollah handouts will be required to actually put in an 8-hour day as a terrorist. ¬†For those not physically able to fire Katyusha rockets or engage in guerrilla assaults, there are office jobs for headhunters &#8211;¬†hunting for people who will hunt for heads.</p>
<p>Nasrallah emphasized that the <em>best way</em> for the unemployed to <em>permanently</em> get off the welfare rolls is to volunteer as a¬†suicide bomber &#8212; &#8220;or as your President Clinton put it, &#8216;a second chance, not a way of life&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thus, unlike¬†Western¬†welfare reform, Hezbollah&#8217;s policy is to <em>encourage</em> welfare mothers to have more children.</p>
<p>However, as far as Israel is concerned, Hezbollah&#8217;s policy still remains &#8220;end it, don&#8217;t amend it.&#8221;</p>
