Al Qaeda was hated even by their own nation and same is with ISIS but Hezbollah has links to Pakistani Intelligence, Iranian government to the highest General in the Army and Syrian backing financially (although that's dwindling due to the war) even Taliban fears and respects them as do ISIL.
The only extremist group not to bow down to Hezbollah when they put their foot down is Hamas and since Hamas stands against Israel and Hezbollah put Hamas in their place, USA enjoys working with them. They are the biggest and baddest extremist Islamic group because they are lowkey legal in countries that are not even relevant to where they are based (Lebanon). So, just by allying Hezbollah and letting them get away with a few dirty deeds, USA keeps them passive and tames the other groups who would otherwise be much more capable of hurting USA's fight in Syria as well as their homeland.
Do note that even though Hezbollah is based in Lebanon they actually represent the interests of other nations (Iran, Syria and Pakistan) much more.

I used to be a cold rationalist but I grew to be more optimistic like you, the difference is I understand that in a world where there is never a 100% 'safe' way to deal internationally you need to ally the most powerful enemies as your pride is worth less than your people's safety.

Such conflicts we are discussing is not new to humanity. From history, “violence” is in part, a function of social evolution. That is, there are dynamic channels of freedom in conflict with dynamic channels of resistance, at times leading to violence. This is predicated on the “constructal law” (a unification theory of evolution within thermodynamics) and states, “For a flow system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve freely such that it provides greater access to its currents.”
The evolution of culture is the flow of good ideas, and/or philosophical persuasion, to provide greater access to the currents of social harmony via our “unalienable Rights,” a version of the constructal law. Because the evolution of technology, the globe is becoming an effective local neighborhood; and therefore, the “melting pot” of culture is inevitable in units of generational time; hence, cultural globalism.
Those who feel “violence” will solve their crusade against cultural globalism will fail, because it goes against a physical law in nature. Relative to their crusade, violence will not solve their plight, only speed up their extinction.

I also totally support the idea of a one world nation but to me, force will have to be a part of it. To me, it's about timing the aggression and stabbing these maniacs in the back when we can. They know USA would tear them apart the millisecond they're no longer an "enemy's enemy" of any kind but for now they are buddies with USA because that's the safest for both.
Whether drug trafficking was hidden or not, the highest important is national security and the decisions Obama made were always very clearly to keep Americans safe. Trump on the other hand... Let's just say that he likes his poker a little 'loose'. (If you don't get the reference then sorry)

A globalist culture does not imply a “one world nation.” As for “left wing” or “right wing” are vague terms meaning little to me. My philosophy is centered on the physical laws of nature of which we are a product there of. My focus is on the symmetry of those physical laws to human behavior, while traversing the fine line between science, philosophy, faith and politics in contrast with morality, economics, and the rule of law.

Life (including humans) are part of nature, therefore, life is a way for nature to see and experience itself. A civil society is also part of nature where “rape, bullying” and other uncivil events going against the “Golden Rule” are not part of any “norm” in the evolution of a civil society.
I do agree, in an uncivil society rape, bullying and other uncivil events are the norm; and therefore, also part of nature.
However, history demonstrates societies strive to be civil, where uncivil societies follow a path towards extinction.
