Trading guns for bulldozers?

Puff peace for Hizbollah.

On the other hand, get these young bitter men decent jobs where they are admired, and they just might turn into productive citizens...

And no, I am not joking about this. Rehabilitating teenagers who learn to kill is a problem, and at least in Hizbollah there was some discipline in the ranks and intact family ties, so their rehabilitation would be more similar to German soldiers in 1946...

unlike the rehabilitation of childsoldiers in Africa and parts of Asia, where their formative years were warped, and often their minds were damaged by drugs...
