Syria and Iran: Bring it on, Israel!
[A must watch video: George Galloway on Sky]
The Syrian Foreign Minister today was emboldened enough to say:"Syria is ready for the possibility of a regional war if the Israeli aggression continues...[and] as Syria's foreign minister I hope to be a soldier in the resistance.''
From the beginning, the war on Lebanon was a losing battle. The more Israel kills Lebanese civilians and destroys Lebanon's infrastructure the stronger Hezbollah becomes.
The only way to have hurt Hezbollah and Iran is to have focused on Syria and its weak regime. But now it is too late.
With a change of regime in Syria, attacks in Iraq would stopped so would weapons to Hezbollah. The Syrian opposition made it clear that fighting Israel is not its intention and I wonder why the Israelis did not see this option.
Ariel Sharon understood that. He was the one who sent planes to bomb Palestinian bases in Syria. He scared them.
Lebanon is and was always a trap for Israel. Ehud Olmert and his army of hotheads and criminals did not see that and they fell right into it.
It would have been simple, Israel hits the Syrian military and regime aparatus and the opposition takes over in no time. Iran would not have intervened and if it did than it would have been threatened with deadly force.
At the same time, Israel makes peace with the Palestinian moderates and things would have come to an end.
But today, Israel looks very weak and the Syrians know it.

Here's still hoping they do hit Syria and "martyr" Walid-el-7mar, since he seems so eager.
Hahaha, Israel is weak :))))
Israel is interested in Syrian regime to stay. And at the same time Israel is interested in removing Hezbollah. So far so good.

Carmen, are you confirming that the Israeli government does not a brain have? they actually think thru their penis? Yours might be longer, but it is definitely proving to be impotent. What will you do once the US cuts the Viagra?
To Outraged!
Welldone, and well said. I always thought they don't have much of brain. They are too easy to scare. JUST Looke at them! they die just cuz of being scared. cut the viagra. lool
ig,
as an israeli abroad, I can't really agree that israel looks weak. esp. when we know it has been using kidsglove so far.
however, couldnt agree more with you on the Syrian issues.
we should have fiercely responded to Hezbollah, and unfortunately trying to shut down lebanese connections to Syria and iran (read airport and roads), but before hitting any target in Beirut, we should have bombed the syrian military and govt to try and force a regime change nad cut out hezbollah from the territorial proximity with syria.
lebanon is very sadly a casualty in a war it did not ask for, but could have try to prevent it.
and while i dont think israel is weaker, apparently we found what hezbollah's true secret and surprising weapon is - the int'l media.
israel seems weaker because that's the way the media paints it. i know, i see it.
i do think militarily, hezbollah will think twice before starting something up again.
the biggest danger we all face - both in israel and in lebanon (and i daresay in the west) is granting a resolution and a cease-fire agreement that could in anyway be positive for hezbollah.
now is the time for the lebanese to do what should have been done long ago. now is the time where a civil war wont erupt in the country if you disarm hezbollah and take control of the country. now is the time for you to definitively root syria out. the lebanese people and their leaders need courage more than ever before.
support through demonstrations and in diplomatic hallways (if not possible officially) a resolution that demand hezbollah be disarmed and an int'l force that can hel your army take control of the south.
support a resolution nthat calls iran and syria to stop meddling in lebanese affairs.
do not insist on a ridiculous dispute over the sheba farms which the whole world sees as a syrian pretext to have kept lebanon "at war" with israel and sided with syria, and which served as hezbollah's pretext. even if we give it to lebanon (and i dont think most israelis would care, actually), i guarantee you hezbollah will find some other pretext to keep fighting a war with israel.
now is the time. let's all do the right thing.
i am 100000% sure if this happens israel will retreat back to its borders, and even help if the lebanese allow it with humanitarian efforts to rebuild the country.
differently, than most people might think, we have nothing most respect for the ordinary lebanese. what we don't much care for is having a bunch of fanatics on our doorsteps that fire rockets and kidnaps our soldiers, and hope to annihilate us as a people and a country.
Salam to all of us. I think we all deserve it.

Here's a good article on the I-won-culture by Hizballah.

It's hard to type with 2 hands and hold a gun. Try it. :D That's why I've never taken to cybersex. You can't masturbate and type at the same time, either! Well, at least I can't.
Maybe that's the answer! Get all the Jihadis to wage their Jihad on the Internet instead of in person! Make 'em type instead of shooting!
Whaddaya think? Will it work?

The coming fall of the Syrian regime at: Syria Has a Problem. Its days are numbered. Sixty to ninety days. Possibly less.
Lebanon's Prime Minister Fuad Siniora fought back tears yesterday – and we alas, couldn't find the tissue to wipe them away. In fact we have no intention of looking for such a tissue.
Instead of weeping in front of representatives donned in suits and ties, Mr Siniora ought to search and find Hassan Nasrallah in his hiding place in the Lebanese capital, and show him the way out of the land of the cedars; otherwise Nasrallah will bring about the demise of Siniora's country.
Fearless: interesting article.
I had forgotten the Marseilles bombing, and all the issues with the Iranian embassies. What is even more interesting is France's approach, about a million miles away from the "shock and awe" that passes as int'l relations these days. Despite the very deep reasons for despising both Iran and Ha, France and Russia are keeping the communication lines open. It would on the face of it seem like a more pro-active approach than simply waiting for something to happen.
Let's cross our fingers on that one. I'd also welcome the participation of Jordan in some sort of regional discussion regarding the Palestine.
I fear you are right. At first I thought perhaps Hizbullah had miscalculated but now it seems that Israel may have entered a trap. The goal is to neutralize Hizbullah as a threat but the katyushas keep falling on Israel, despite all the damage the IDF has caused in Lebanon
fearless, you have a lot to say on the current Israel-Hizbullah conflict. Why don't you start your own blog ?
To People of the Good Will in Lebanon.
Is it possible that You aren’t bored with Israel’s firings?! Why don’t You suppress the Hesbollah? After all, they had attacked first. We are bored with the bombardments, and we are bored to stay on Your territory. Let’s make united efforts to get rid of the Hesbollah! Let’s stop to be afraid of one another! Why, it’s clear that the war is profitable for the politicians only. They are sitting in their armchairs, they are not bombed. May Nasrallah and Olmert with their families come out for the duel! And we’ll look at them – we and You.
Nealpoems: We Americans will be happy to throw Bush in as well (we REALLY don't want him anyway). Anyone else want to ante-up with their political leaders? All they do is hurt us!
Tehran has meanwhile ordered Nasrallah to keep Israel engaged in combat for another 3 to 4 days. As a result of which he suddenly backed away from his pledges to France and the Siniora government Saturday to accept a ceasefire and a UNIFIL force in south Lebanon.
At five minutes notice, the thunderstruck Lebanese ministers called off their meeting to discuss the deployment of their forces in the south and the disarming of Hizballah.
August 13, 2006, 7:10 PM (GMT+02:00)
The Lebanese government postponed a meeting Sunday afternoon on disarming Hizballah. Nasrallah reversed his conditional consent to the UN ceasefire which included a veto on an arms embargo and Hizballah’s withdrawal from Lebanon.
Then, after the Israeli cabinet approved the UN ceasefire, he told the Siniora government the deal was off. Iran and Syria warned the Lebanese government not to let its troops and the 15,000-strong international force try and disarm Hizballah.
Supporters of Hezbollah in Lebanon today are confident of their victory. They have survived therefore they win. Israel killed hundreds of Lebanese and destroyed our infrastructure and still Hezbollah won. Hundred of thousands of refugees and Hezbollah supporters say that they are victorious.
If this is victory, what is defeat?
Maybe Hassan Nasrallah can explain to me what he meant when he said that if his fighters retreat it is not important because it is just a little bit of land and it is not precious enough to hold on to.
What are the Shebaa Farms then? A little bit of unpopulated land?
What are the 3 prisoners held in Israel compared to the hundreds of children that Israel killed?
Get out of Lebanon Hassan and take your ideology of death and hate with you. Take your supporters and your complexes and go to your beloved Islamic Republic of Iran.
Leave us, the people who actually believe in a country called Lebanon, alone. You are not part of us. Go live your Islamic battles somewhere else. Go to heaven and let us live in the pro-American hell in peace and prosperity like many other places in the Middle East and Asia.
