"putting it officially on a par with the likes of Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Hizbullah"
Reader comment on item: Unleash the Iranian Opposition[, the Mujahedeen-e Khalq]
Submitted by Pez Dispenser (Israel), Jul 11, 2007 at 04:25
IMHO, this is not the best comparison, since the EU did not officially ban Hizbullah. In fact, they are even invited to meetings!
Just the other day Sarkozy mentioned that France theoretically considers Hizbullah to be a terrorist group, but keeps an open communication channel with them anyway.
