EU ministers agree to blacklist
Hezbollah's armed wing

I'm not sure this is a great idea, despite Hezbollah's murderous role in Syria. It has gained support in Lebanon representing the disenfranchised Shia community, that support is only likely to be strengthened if they are treated as less legitimate than other Lebanese forces, and the chances of a revolt within the community against their military adventure in Syria recedes.

Having said that, it is still the Assad government and its friends that have tried to spread the war and the sectarianism; while Hezbollah and Assad's enemies in Lebanon have been incredibly restrained, which is a good thing.
