Some prefer to side with Syria and Iran against the U.S. and the Western world? How does this make sense for a free-thinking and supposedly 'democratic' society? If you would rather live in Syria or Iran; why don't you move there and find out how wonderful life is? I realize that it's not perfect in the West, but Lebanese are more liberal and capitalist than the rest of the Arab world, or am I wrong? I don’t understand this mentality that Lebanese have.

I heard some silly religious causes about the messiah second comming and bla bla bla but I doubt that those are the arguments discussed in the US senate. The US will always defend Israel for the simple reason that Israel has always been loyal to the US. We can't say the same for Lebanon since two years ago, those who are so keen to visit bush today were shouting "al mawtou li amrika" louder than the shi3a. I do not wish to generalize, but there is a lebanese community that is showing a lot of hyppocrisy lately, hating the US and unproud of the new friendship with the US, but at the same time totaly depending on the US to defend them from the irani invasion of the ME. For those who proudly state that we do not need the american support, I say think twice, because your ennemies are seeking Irani support, and if you are expecting help from your arab brothers, good luck. The US as much as you like to portray them as stupid and chewing gummers and ketchup drinkers and, and ... are much more clever than you think and at the same time they do remember your past stances against the USA. Now that they have the upper hand over the ME, it is going to be payback time, the american way: kiss my ass or kiss the mollahs ass. I advise you to kiss the US's ass, as you should have done 50 years ago. But maybe you needed 50 years of illusionnary victories to realize the sewers you are living in and that its big time now to look toward the west where future lays. Pray that the white house is still open for REAL moderates people like the hariri family. Pray for these american soldiers that are defending your right to be free, from your own tyrants as well as from imported tyrans.

The US did nothing to stop Lebanon's destruction in July-August 2006. Mr Sanioura told a relative of mine, one day after he met Bush in April 2006, that he requested US pressures on Israel regarding the Shebaa farms. The response was that he should talk to Syria! That said, the President Bush said that he supported Lebanese sovereignty & independence...and we know what happened afterwards. We Lebanese, should count on ourselves and see what is best for us rather than seeking outside support.
