OT--Syria, Hizbollah, and Lebanon...no big surprise again
Hizbollah Draws Vast Pro-Syrian Crowds in Beirut 43 minutes ago By Nadim Ladki BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of flag-waving Lebanese flooded central Beirut Tuesday for a pro-Syrian rally called by Hizbollah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So Hizbollah supports Syrian occupation of Lebanon? Once again...no big surprise. Syria and Iran are the last two countries in the Middle East whose governments *openly* support international terrorist groups. The time to deal with them is now. |

The time to deal with Iran was before we ran up a huge debt and overburdened the Army trying to "deal with" Iraq. And up until last week, Syria has been very friendly and cooperative towards the Bush Administration and vice-versa. Sort of like the way we keep cozying up to Pakistan, which keeps it's own stable of terrorists at the ready. So now you're agreeing that Bush's attempts to fight a "war on terror" has largely been ineffective? DSK |

The time to deal with Iran was before we ran up a huge debt and overburdened the Army trying to "deal with" Iraq. We would we have staged from for an attack on Iran? And up until last week, Syria has been very friendly and cooperative towards the Bush Administration and vice-versa. Last week? Horsepoop. You obviously don't read much. Here's a billed introduced by Congresswoman Barbara Boxer (yep...that's the current minority leader) and Congressman Rick Santorum, and passed by Congress on May 1, 2003: http://www.theorator.com/bills108/s982.html Here's an excerpt: " To halt Syrian support for terrorism, end its occupation of Lebanon, stop its development of weapons of mass destruction, cease its illegal importation of Iraqi oil, and hold Syria accountable for its role in the Middle East, and for other purposes. " Wow! You mean to tell me that all this happened almost two years ago? But I thought you just said that Syria was being friendly and cooperative towards the Bush administration? Then why the need to introduce an "Accountability Bill" in regards to Syria? Don't you feel stupid now, Dougie? Sort of like the way we keep cozying up to Pakistan, which keeps it's own stable of terrorists at the ready. We're cozying up to Pakistan because: a) Musharraf is also at war with the radical fundamentalists in his country, and b) the country has nukes, which could end up in the hands of those fundamentalists. |

Hundreds of thousands? Hehehe. That would have been a good time to bomb downtown Beirut. Once again, ill-conceived diplomacy will cost American lives down the road. |

Hundreds of thousands? Hehehe. The Guardian has it as 500,000. Rather impressive considering Lebanon has a population of under 4 million. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlates...849731,00.html |

What's really sad is that almost 15% of that country openly supports an organization that uses suicide bombers to target non-Muslims. |

There may well be hundreds of thousands or more of Lebanese who simply didn't get to Beirut for the demonstration. There are millions of Iraqis who want us out of their country. If they weren't afraid of being shot by US troops, they'd probably demonstrate, too. Well then I could argue that the same applies to the millions of Lebanese who didn't protest the Syrian military's occupation for fear that they'd be killed. The silent majority. |

Bush & Cheney can be very cozy with terrorist supporting states such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, when it suits their own purposes. And unfortunately, that's the truth. ... You obviously don't read much. Nope, actually I read a fair amount... of course, I don't put much stock in carefully selected & edited & spun versions of anybody's political tub-thumping, whereas you swallow every bit of that you can.
