Hey, I understand what he was trying to say and I am one of Mitt's biggest fans --- but nobody is perfect. This was a bad example..... a gaffe. The first one he's made, I think.

----> He's realized the error of his ways and has already corrected the statement:

Mitt Romney's campaign said Hezbollah was not a proper model for his vision of U.S. diplomacy, addressing a controversy arising from his earlier remarks.

"Governor Romney believes that bloodthirsty terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas have smothered the progress of the people and nations where they have built their networks, Lebanon serving as an example," spokesman Kevin Madden said. "These terror organizations cannot and should not be allowed to gain an advantage with the citizenry in Muslim nations just because they mask their terror agenda with an offering of some vital services."

In other words, they had a good idea which they've used for evil and manipulation rather than good.

They have built a base of influence by winning hearts and minds and it can be an effective tool. Good thing AQ has not figured that out or things in Iraq could be a lot worse. From the reactions out there on this comment it seems that people are indulging in political correctness instead of substance.
