#1 I am shocked. I figure France and Germany will feel free to ignore this but sounds like some folks are starting to get it.

#4 I dunno about Germany being so sympathetic to the imaginary "political wing" BS - France is the real culprit and sponsor of these terrs. Spain's prolly onboard, now. Jack Straw may have jacked them a bit - he seems to have some odd compulsions.

These are Chirac's children.

#5 Germany was one of those who pushed for the declaration.

We should really do away with "political wings" and "militant wings". Both kill, one with words, one with weapons.

But both are terrorists.

#6 In one aspect, Chirac is probably affraid about getting outflanked by Bush in his own colonial fiefdom.

But more than that Chirac was reportedly a friend fo Rafikiri. He may not give a damn about spreading freedom to Lebanon but if he has any principles at all, they're probably those of the mob boss, i.e. based on protecting his fellow cronies. But someone went and offed 'a member of da family.'

#9 JIT is closer than anyone. It was France that was stopping the EU from doing this, and Hezb has crossed France on the future of Lebanon, choosing Syria over France when it came time to make a choice. Now Hezb must pay.

#10 TGA-Yep.

Today marks the first day I can say, "thank you, EU".

#11 Hezbollah has several elected members of the Lebanese Parliament and runs welfare services..

It's called "political cover".

#13 If this gets Jacko to the ranch, I think I'm going to be sick.
