#2 slashing the aid would only make Hizbullah stronger, drive the army toward US rivals and erode US credibility here, a number of analysts

We could cut aid to zero and Hezbullah would still exist and still hate the U.S. and Israel. They would still be pulling shenanigans in the ME since their funding comes through mosques, Iran, and South America.
