Just a little tip for those seeking democracy in the Middle East: It won’t work as long as a rogue terrorist organization, acting with impunity while a toothless government looks on, has the country by the balls.
From the Associated Press:
US President George W. Bush expressed worries the Israeli assault could cause the fall of the government, whose formation after elections last year Washington hailed as a major step for Lebanese democracy after years of Syrian control.
Israel is doing far more for Lebanese democracy than anyone is giving it credit for.
The world recognized with UN Security Council Resolution 1559 that Lebanon would not truly be free until Hizb’allah was defanged, but has failed to back up its words with action. Israel is just taking care of the dirty work, and should be applauded for doing so.
Ironically, the only ones giving Israel its dues are the Lebanese themselves (the Christian ones).
