| Hezbollah's Divine Betrayal of Lebanon |
| 2008-05-11 |
| Hezbollah prepares to claim another divine victory, again at the expense of Lebanon and its embattled citizens. Lebanon's peace has been fragile since the end of the first civil war, eighteen hard years of healing and progress were erased, and for what? So that Iran and Syria could flex their muscles to the west? Because Hezbollah needed another opportunity to demonstrate its infamy to the civilized world? Because politicians egos were challenged? In just a matter of days, the Syria/Iran backed militia has set Lebanon back more than twenty years, effectively handing Israel the best 60th birthday gift they could have ever wished for. Turning the very unmatched arsenal used to fight the Israeli Army, on their fellow countrymen. Treason doesn't quite cover the magnitude of Hezbollah's actions - you only need to turn on a handful of fellow citizens to be considered a traitor - the Shi'ite militia brought the dreaded words "civil war" back to the lips of a nation which has spent the past eighteen years trying to escape that dark past. Masked gunmen on the streets of West Beirut firing rocket propelled grenades in densely populated neighborhoods is a sight no Lebanese expected they would have to live through again. Shi'ite gunmen killing Sunnis (pictured right) as they mourn the death of family members killed the day before. The Lebanese are all too familiar with Syria's divisive tactics in ruling Lebanon, but never in a million years would one expect fellow countrymen to turn their backs on an entire nation the way Hezbollah have today. Hezbollah's existence is fully dependent on war and conflict, the militia has no future in a peaceful and civil Lebanon. The decisions made by the government to secure its future as a militia free country have clearly threatened to bring order to the perpetual chaos Hezbollah thrives on. What frightens me the most is the intricate premeditated plan Hezbollah had clearly assembled to be able to seize control of the entire West Beirut in less than 48 hours, and the joy on the faces of the militiamen, like the Hezbollah gunman pictured right, as they proceed to terrorize fellow countrymen. Just as Barack Obama described frustrated middle America, Hezbollah's bitter followers also "cling to religion and guns". Nothing is sacred to Hezbollah except their weapons. Hassan Nasrallah has never preached to his followers about a bright future and prosperous Lebanon, but rather filled their heads with messages of hatred and violence. Freedom of the press, one of Lebanon's most treasured liberties, is the latest victim in the long list of constitutional laws trampled on by the Shi'ite militia. On Friday, Hezbollah forced the closure of a pro-government television station and newspaper. Unhappy with the news broadcast on Future TV, militiamen used the Lebanese Army to seize control of the building, then proceeded to burn it down with grenades, rockets and molatov cocktails. For the sake of a Lebanon that our children can one day call home, I pray that our nation of honorable, law abiding citizens can forgive Hezbollah for its deplorable war on its own people and for holding an entire nation hostage for its political gains. I also pray that Hezbollah's strong following can one day be law abiding citizens, in a country which honors freedom and prosperity more than death and war. |

| #2 Again, IMO they need to protect and empower NUCLEAR IRAN + NUCLEAR JIHAD-RADICALISM/MILITANCY + ultimately NUCLEAR ISLAMIST EMPIRE/BLOC [vv Iran]. IFF NO US-IRAN WAR > Iran + Radical Islam will use the interim to acquire strategic weapons + retaliatory capabilities AMAP ASAP for RENEWED GLOBAL JIHAD after 2010 or 2012/13. LEST WE FERGIT > MSM - described Dubya's anti-Terror strategies as akin to RANDOM BUT DIFFERENTIATED, WIDE-PATTERN EXPANDING INK DROPS HERE AND THERE ON PIECE OF PAPER. One can argue that Radicla Islam is takinga cue from the MSM's own descriptions, i.e. ISLAMIST ANTi-US VERSION OF "INK DROP" = COMMIE "LOCAL/BATTLE/WAR ZONE" STRATEGEMS??? |
