Hizbullah versus Taliban: the Zionist Middle East experts at the White House

"Some inside the White House have cited Hezbollah, the armed Lebanese political movement, as an example of what the Taliban could become. Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government, but the group has political support within Lebanon and participates, sometimes through intimidation, in the political process." Don't you like it when Zionist Middle East experts at the White House (under Republican and Democratic administrations because the shift between the two parties does not substantially alter the nature of Zionist control over US Middle East policy) think that they have stumbled on some brilliant scheme to control or shape the Middle East? This comparison is so dumb: forget about all the differences between Taliban and Hizbullah and their context, there is one important difference: Taliban wants to take over power in Afghanistan, while Hizbullah does not want to take over power in Lebanon (for many reasons and this has to do with the nature of sectarian politics in Lebanon where no one party or sect is capable of controlling the whole country).
