Once again, I feel compelled to post an editorial opinion from Kuwait’s Arab Times by its Editor-in-Chief, Ahmed Al-Jarallah:
ONCE we learn the international tribunal which was formed by the United Nations under Article 7, has the authority to summon the president of any country, then we will know why the Syrian regime has done its best to prevent the formation of an international tribunal to try the murderers of late Rafik Al-Hariri, former prime minister of Lebanon. The Syrian regime feels the danger is closing in and big names will be accused of assassinating Hariri and a group of Lebanese elite. Certainly this international court will provide the security cover for Lebanon against terrorist operations and undo attempts by vested parties to shackle the Lebanese system.
I am very much afraid, that as soon as the Judges have been chosen and the Tribunal will be about to start its work, that the real problems in Lebanon will start… Unless… the putrid little maggot, Ahmedinajad, realizes he’s got little to gain from serving as a shield for Baby Assad and he, Ahmedinajad, will order his Lebanese minions to stay low and sacrifice the murderous Syrian. That would be the logical thing to do, but logic as we understand it in the West, is not something that is not a widespread practice in the Middle East.
The Syrian intelligence has been trying its best to show the world that Lebanon badly needs its guardianship, which explains why Lebanon became the scene of booby-trapped cars which claimed the lives of innocent people and extremist gangs mushroomed under different names. The Syrian intelligence has done all in its power to keep President Bashar Al-Assad away from being interrogated by the tribunal. The regime was so confused it had to take quick action, which resulted in issuing contradictory statements to deny the regime’s involvement in the assassination of Hariri. Sadly Syria won the support of some Lebanese followers, who agreed to play to the tune of the Syrian music. Cleric Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah has dedicated his money and efforts to have a share in the rule of Lebanon claiming he is the only one who cares for Lebanon’s interests.
There is no question that aside from his obvious lust for Lebanon, Assad Jr. has much to hide, much to fear… and so do his followers in Lebanon, his accomplices… Hassan Nasrallah, Nabi Berri, and Michel Aoun have much to gain from Assad and his friends and relatives not being called to the International Tribunal. I also very much doubt that Nasrallah has actually spent a wooden nickel of his own money… it all came from Iran and Syria
The Lebanese people are paying the price for the mistakes of a minority who are serving foreign interests and executing the agenda of Iran and Syria. After forming the international tribunal, the Syrian regime is expected to increase its devastating activities in Iraq and Lebanon to create a different scenario unlike the battles in the Balkan and the trial of Serbia’s President, Slobodan Milosevic, who died a lonely death in the prison of justice.
The Lebanese people and the average Palestinian in Gaza are paying the price for the greed, the corruption and the blood lust of their leaders under the direction of Syria and its Masters in Iran. The current situation in Gaza is hurting most those it was supposed to help the most. Palestinians are trying to flee en masse, those who can’t are hoping for Israel to take over again or for the Jordanians to do so. The PA cannot continue like this, unfortunately while the terrorists on both parties (Hamas and Fatah) may be killing each other they are killing and maiming some of their regular citizenry including innocent children.
The same is happening in Lebanon, terrorists have entrenched themselves in Palestinian refugee camps where the Lebanese security forces have not been allowed in for the last 40 years. The end result of Lebanon not having full sovereignty over every inch of its territory is the situation we see now. Syrian associated terrorists, many of them foreign, have taken over the camps and doing their best to engulf Lebanon in a war for its life. Lebanon, beautiful Lebanon, was considered the Riviera of the Middle East in the 50s. It could once again flourish as such, with its long standing tradition of coexistence between Shiites, Sunnis and Maronite Christians. If Lebanon manages to expel all foreigners, if it regains full control of every millimeter of its soil, it has a chance to once again be that beautiful, dreamy, Riviera of the Middle East. But… first it must contend with the likes of Baby Assad and Ahmedinajad… and with international help… smash them!!!
