Fadlallah and Qabalan urge peaceful dialogue
2005-03-05
Senior Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah and Higher Shiite Council Vice President Sheikh Abdel-Amir Qabalan both called in sermons Friday for planning the future wisely through peaceful national dialogue recognizing the other. Speaking at the Imamein Hassanein Mosque in Haret Hreik, Fadlallah wondered about the American and international stand, "that is rather aggressive regarding the immediate implementation of United Nations Resolution 1559" at a time when Israel trampled on several resolutions without stirring the reaction of the international community.

Fadlallah said: "Lebanon has the right - like any other country - to live in security and political freedom, exercise its independence and free decision-making and hold relations with other countries based on sovereignty and mutual respect." However, the cleric stressed that the European-American alliance was acting out a plan to contact a specific Lebanese party to detect a certain political unbalance magnetized by the media to spread a fear of instability. He said: "Is it a question of freedom, democracy and peace to the peoples of the Middle East, or a question of the U.S. interest to take advantage of loopholes in this or that country and accuse the resistance of terrorism to shake the international opinion against it?" According to Fadlallah, U.S. policy is complying with an Israeli plan of alliance on the strategic level to control the Arab and Islamic region on the political, economic and security levels.

#1  blah, blah, blah. Get the with the program, grandpa. Your words are 20th Century tactics in a 21st Century war. After 911, your hegemonic, US interest, international community, Israeli oppressor stuff just isn't working anymore. Time to deal with it in a rational manner. We understand that nukes are your only option to turn back the clock of time. However, we hope you understand that if you get them, that clock will be cleaned...thank you very much.
