The news coming from Lebanon are anything but good. Suspicion, lack of trust and narrow agendas prevent progress on the ground.
At the meeting, President Suleiman had with the spiritual leaders, he warned that “differences have reached the level of committing suicide.”
Former Premier, Omar Karami talks of a temporary truce "because historical grudges still exist."
The Russian Ministry denounced the deterioration of the situation in Lebanon and we called on all parties "that have an impact on the warring forces" to help stop the armed clashes and restore stability and order.
Michel Aoun considers Premier Fuad Siniora a “war project,” because the latter did not form the government. How could he, when Aoun & allies, always find something new to ask or to vote against? Siniora may not be the best Prime Minister ever, but he is doing his best to keep the country out of harms way.
MP Hussein Hajj Hassan of Hizballah accused Siniora of following outside orders, to sabotage the al mighty resistance. How ludicrous is that?! When 1) Hizballah's ideology is of Khomeinist nature 2) they sabotage the state of law through any posisble means [ let's not forget, the private army&secret service, parallel telecommunication lines, total control of the South, Beirut's suburbs and Beqaa] 3) the party finds new excuses to keep the arms, Hizballah blames the others for conspiring against its interests. Please!!
Unfortunately, this falls in line with the role played by a suspicious group that abuses and incites [parties] against the Resistance in the service of America and Israel.
The Sunnis, through Mufti Jouzou accused Hizballah of imposing its “aggressive”policy on Lebanon, as a whole.
To what end? There are not many available alternatives, after all. Either the political leaders find a way to move forward or the situation gets worse.
