Beydoun says US acted with âtribal mentalityâ
Former Lebanon Water and Energy Minister Mohammed Abdel-Hamid Beydoun called for the formation of an âeffectiveâ parliamentary opposition front Friday, accusing the Unites States of acting with a âtribal mentalityâ in Iraq. Speaking at his office in Tyre, Beydoun, who was dismissed from the Amal Movementâs politburo in March after a dispute with the groupâs leader, Speaker Nabih Berri, said the âexecution without trialâ of former Iraqi President Saddam Husseinâs sons, Odai and Qusai, âindicates that the Americans acted with a tribal mentality, and not in accordance with law and democracy.â
| "Execution without trial" in a shootout, he means... |
âThe Americans have also executed Saddamâs grandson, aged 14, indicating that an individual is held responsible for his familyâs actions and not just his own,â Beydoun added.
| Suppose he coulda put the gun down and stopped shooting... Nah. That wouldn't have worked. |
The Tyre MP then questioned the US forcesâ âreal aimsâ behind publishing photographs of those âexecutedâ and publicizing them to the world through the media. He said that the Americans probably wanted to recall the images of death and executions that marked the darker episodes of Iraqâs history.
| Yasss... We must examine the real motives! Things are not what they seem! There are obviously deep-laid plots, sinister conspiracies at work here... |
