Hello! I am so impressed with your site I linked it to mind. As I have said on Crossfire War when the fighting began on May 20 at Nahr al-Bared Teheran has started it through Fatah al-Islam to set the stage for Damascus’ invasion of the country. It is no coincidence some of the members of the suicide unit are from Saudi Arabia. Today IRNA.IR announced Siniora scheduled to visit Berlin next Wednesday. Is that visit a possible cover for his exile?

Tell me, which hand was Hariri “extending” when he paid and armed Fatah el Islam to come provoke a civil war in lebanon? Luckily Hezbollah did not respond to the provocation, and teh Lebanese army defeated that militia. In an article posted on March 5th 2007 in The New Yorker, by the pullitzer prize winner Seymour Hersh (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/03/05/070305fa_fact_hersh), your “hand” is accused of financing those sunnite extremists. The March 14 coalition is a collection of sectarian war lords who practice religious segregation. It is made of sunnites with a complex of superiority against shiites, obtuse Christians with a complex of superiority against arabs, and all other types of prejudiced people in our country. You’re even the government that shunned African spouses of Lebanese citizens during an evacuation from Zaire. Most recently the Christian separatists among them shot at Shiaah civilians, again deperately trying to provoke a civil war. The opposition is lead by the anti-sectarian tayyar, and Hezbollah is an ex-religious clan who is evolving into Lebanese citizenry, with the help of the tayyar. This evolution is something that the religous mafias in power oppose, because they strive on backward sectarianism. Here’s a vocabulary lesson for you: a sectarian is a racist who segregates people by religion, and the tayyar is the movement that demands separating religion and state, and ending religious segregation. THAT is what a modern democracy is based on. It is not Damascus-based, the tayyar is the only movement that EVER opposed the syrian occupation. You my friends, and your extended hand, are left overs from the dark ages in Lebanon, and whether you like it or not you need to evolve OUT of these dark ages. Start by studying the vocabulary used by the tayyar, it will guide you into a 21st century democracy.
