The Free World Owes Hezbollah a “Thank You”
By Peter Chamberlin
Bush’s secret war against Lebanon has been reversed by the people of Lebanon. Hezbollah forces were saying “No,” for the whole nation. Bush’s use of local mercenary forces to undermine the national resistance to Israeli aggression didn’t set well with either side of the Lebanese people. Lebanon was set to become the new battlefield in a regional war, to guarantee the security of Israel.
Once again, we see that the Cedar Revolution lives on in the hopeful people who have risen as one, to oppose outside intervention in their blossoming democracy. The success of the Doha Accord will prove in Lebanon that Democracy and Islamic thought is compatible, if the foreign devils can be kept away from their doors.
On the eve of the eighth anniversary of Hezbollah’s first liberation of the people of Lebanon from the Zionist invader, the world should finally understand that the Lebanese Resistance forces are not the “terrorists” that the American/Israeli press makes them out to be. http://www.almanar.com.lb/NewsSite/NewsDetails.aspx?id=44372&language=en
Once again, those whom the Zionist press has labeled as terrorists have proven to be just patriots defending their homes.
Rami G. Khouri has given us a perfect summary of the new paradigm Bush has created: http://dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=1&categ_id=5&article_id=92376
“This accord has been forged in the furnace of Middle Eastern demographic and political realism, in contrast to the hallucinatory absolutism that often drives US-Israeli policy in the region.
The US was not fully defeated, but it was fought to a draw. Recent events put into concrete political form the most powerful force that has defined the Middle East in recent decades: the willingness of individuals, political movements and some governments to openly defy, challenge, resist and occasionally fight the United States, Israel and their Arab and other allies.
Now that we have a draw in the broad ideological confrontation throughout the Middle East that pits Israeli-Americanism against Arab Islamo-nationalism, we should expect the players to reconsider their policies if they wish to make new gains.
It is no big deal in Washington when nearly 500 million Arabs, Iranians and Turks ignore and defy the US. But when Israel - the only democracy in the Middle East, America's eternal ally, and the bastion of the epic modern struggle against fascism, totalitarianism, Nazism, communism and terrorism - ignores the United States, that is newsworthy.
So we now have a rare moment in the Middle East: Iran, Turkey, all the Arabs, Hizbullah, Hamas and Israel all share one and only one common trait: They routinely ignore the advice, and the occasional threats, they get from Washington. Condoleezza Rice was correct in summer 2006 when she said we are witnessing the birth pangs of a new Middle East. But the new regional configuration is very different from what she had in mind and tried to bring into being with multiple wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia and Lebanon, and threats against Iran and Syria. The new rules of the political game in the Middle East are now being written by the key players in the Middle East, which should be welcomed.”

Lo! you are they who will love them while they do not love you, and you believe in the Book (in) the whole of it; and when they meet you they say: We believe, and when they are alone, they bite the ends of their fingers in rage against you. Say: Die in your rage; surely Allah knows what is in the breasts. -The Family of Imran, The Glorious Qur'an.
