(Wall Street Journal) Douglas Murray - The EU still refuses to designate Iran-backed Hizbullah a terrorist entity. Instead it continues to hide behind the meaningless claim that there is a separation between Hizbullah's political and military wings. This difference is not recognized in the U.S. or Canada, it is not recognized in Lebanon and it is certainly not recognized by Hizbullah itself. If the EU cares for the future of the Middle East, let alone its own future, it must recognize that the forces emanating from Iran seek to destabilize that region first - but only first. An EU that refuses to recognize this is an EU that has willfully blinded itself to the enemies not just of Europe but of peace-loving people everywhere.
