Lebanese Ambassador: Iran is Lebanon’s Best Friend

Lebanese Ambassador: Iran is Lebanon’s Best Friend

by John Little on 3/08/2006

They’re BFF! Um, yeah. Well, I guess it’s actually not very funny.

The Lebanese diplomat said the Israel regime’s attacks had been a well-orchestrated move.

He cited an article, published in an Israeli daily in 1982, as saying Israel’s strategic interests in the coming years will go beyond Israeli border, covering north African states, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Turkey and part of Egypt.

Mansoor said resistance against aggression is the only option left today for the Lebanese nation and it is proved to a very successful method of repelling Israeli invasions and expansionism.

He than thanked the Iranian people for supporting Lebanese resistance, saying Lebanon is now considering the Islamic Republic of Iran as its best friend.

They just might be saying this to scare the crap out of the West. Hoping that fears of further radicalization in Lebanon will make a cease-fire more attractive. Unfortunately, the simplest answer is usually the right one. And that’s bad news for us.

What are the odds that particular ambassador is part of the HB political front? Lebanon still seems divided on HB although the pro HB voices are becoming more numerous and louder. Still you have to consider Hb’s threats of retaliation against those who don’t support them. Don’t write off Lebanon or the Cedar Revolution just yet.

That was my first thought too. I think the odds are quite high actually. I wish that we had more insight into the internal politics of Lebanon as we approach (or at least discuss) a cease-fire. I bet it’s quite intense.

What is with the people of the world? Think back Russia,China, France, and the United States all retaliated with great force when Germany crossed their borders and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. So whats the problem with letting Israel go after the lowest form of rodent life in the world, the Hezbollah and Hammas. These are nothing but cowards, that hide behind wemen and childern. When Israel fires on then they screm foul and expect the world to stand by them , insane. Lets face it these people can not from the beginning of time tell the truth, get along with themselves or anybody else, there only answer to everyone who disagrees with them is to kill them. Lets face it they are the illegimate desendants of Abreham, who is probable turnning in his grave with disqust.

When I think about the whys and wherefores about this tragic result of the Hezbollah actions. I think about our what citizenship means. To harbor such a group within and without the proper governing body of the state, and that both the people and the government of Lebanon allow them this horrible freedom to create war; they have abandoned the citizenship, the very laws, of civilization.
If such a group even tried to exist within my city, or my state, we the people would eradicate them, persue them, and find them. So that they could not harm others, and us!
I do not agree with my present government, but I hope to have change within the political process of the vote in 2008. I believe I was lied to, and the people were lied to. And angain it gets down to the responsibilities of citizenship, whatever country, that we have to act correctly and often to stop abuse within and without!

Israel is doing the right thing. Hizbollah and his supporters should be wiped out from the face of the earth. I’m only disappointed why are they using a massive military firepower to a guerrilla style operation. These High Tech weapons failed in Iraq because it resulted in massive innocent civilian casualties. A smart bomb no matter how smart it is still cannot distinguish a goat from an Arab. What happen to Entebbe commando type tactic the Israeli used that brought admiration to the whole civilize world? Hizbollah blends in the community the same problem we have with the Abu Sayaf. Yes, the Hizbollah looked like the aggrieved party here, But they are not, they are the primary supporters / financiers to some Islamic terrorists worldwide. They are being funded by rich and powerful oil producing countries, and also by some wealthy psychotic individuals. And because this war claimed some massive innocent lives to a much weaker nation, it creates sympathy to the underdog. I hope Israel should not lose his focus, and continue what is consciously right.
