Hizbollah Says Will Not Lay Down Arms
 Lebanon's Hizbollah group will not lay down its weapons despite international pressure, because Lebanese still needed its guerrillas as a defense against Israel, the group's chief said Sunday. "The resistance will not give up its arms... because Lebanon needs the resistance to defend it," Hizbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah told reporters.
| Fox News says that Hezbollah's going to hold pro-Syrian demonstrations. Yesterday pro-Syrian "demonstrators" shot up Beirut's Christian sector, and I imagine we'll see more of this, so that Syria will be obliged to remain to "maintain order." Iran — not so much Syria — isn't going to want to give up its foothold in Lebanon, and they're going to fight us tooth and nail. The difference between this and the Orange and Rose revolutions is that the Ukes and the Georgians didn't want to shoot up their own people. Hezbollah doesn't regard non-Hezbollah as being their own. |
