Tide Of Arab Opinion Turns To Support For Hezbollah

Posted on Saturday, July 29 at 13:39 by 4Canada
An outpouring of newspaper columns, cartoons, blogs and public poetry readings have showered praise on Hezbollah while attacking the United States and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for trumpeting American plans for a “new Middle East” that they say has led only to violence and repression. Even Al Qaeda, run by violent Sunni Muslim extremists normally hostile to all Shiites, has gotten into the act, with its deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, releasing a taped message saying that through its fighting in Iraq, his organization was also trying to liberate Palestine. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14244.htm [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on July 31, 2006]

    They finaly realize what it's all about. The USA taking over the middle east and only for their OWN gain. Perhaps somewhere along the line they will quit asking for US intervention. So far it's only given more power to the US.

    There's been a "groundswell of support" during other conflicts that amounted to nothing of substance. Will this one be different.....?

    The neoconazis may end up doing what would seem impossible - healing the 1400 year old split between Shia and Sunni.

    any "healed rifts" will last until 3 tuesday after the conflict ends, and after that day it will be kill thy brother, as usual.
