The article said that Future Movement is the one who created Fateh Al Islam? I like to see what kind of proof that bastard (Simon H.) is talking about? Guys,

I like to see what kind of proof that bastard (Simon H.) is talking about?

Syria is the main benifactor from Lebanon's ills on many fronts: *This week the International Tribunal will be set in motion, it will be a major headliner for the world public opinion to read; the events in Lebanon stole the headline. *Syria's economy will benefit from the bloody events in Lebanon; Syria hopes its tourism will pick up again on the misfortunes of their neighbours. *Syria can point the finger at the Lebanese government and accusing it as dysfunctional. Sure Syria is behind Fath Al Islam group;it is war by proxy. “Coincidence” does not exist in the political vocabulary; to uncover the recent situation, one has to realize the benifactor from the escalating events.

And it's so FAR from Mother Iran! Oh, dear, what to do ...?? I know; Let's try Terrorism! That'll work!!

Your Syrian masters will be taught a lesson though. You're just another agent of the criminal cowards, or maybe, you're seriously retarded and has been brainwashed by Syria's propaganda. D,

The only logic that they have is Terror, sorry Ali I dnt mean to disappoint you but Hizballah and Aoun and Fateh and whoever is alligned with Syria now is not an ally it is a tool to use against Lebanon. Using Hizballah didnt work Using Explosions didnt work Killing Free People didnt work Paralyzing the country didnt work Paralysing the institutions didnt work Getting Foreign fighters and engage the in battle with Lebanse Army also will not work. I believe they are running out of cards and let us hope it is the last one! The opinion of Ali logically speaking makes sense, but unfortunately the normal logic has no place in Syrian politics.

They still live in the camps with the others. Now, they have weapons and are believed to have 150-200 armed men, based in Nahr al-Bared camp. Why did they split? From where are they getting the money and weapon if they have splitted from Fatah al-Intifida. I read they recruited people from different countries, how did they sneek in? What I see is Syria is interested to destabilize Lebanon, thus there is a high probability that they will help them if not support them. So, don't tell me Syria has nothing to it!

What matters now is that this group and others need to be eradicated and the camps need to be policed by Lebanese authority. I don't care who supports them, or give them money, if it weakens the friggin Palestian cause or if it upsets some Saudi freaks or whatever. And yes Saniora was lax on those guys, in Saida and elsewhere. Ok some of it is Lebanese idiocy and some of it is Syrian criminality.

While Syria is one of the most notable contributors, our past complacency and our continued procrastination served as valuable midwives. Ali makes a good point; this baby has many proud parents.
