Remember that Abdel Aziz Hakim was once part of Da'wa, the organization the bombed the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait in '83. Hezbollah grew out of Da'wa.

Here's a quote from the guy:

"(The U.S. occupation) is primarily responsible for (the death of my brother) and the blood that is shed all over Iraq every day. Iraq must not remain occupied and the occupation must leave so that we can build Iraq as God wants us to do."

It seems like everybody knows what God wants these days.
