The last thing Lebanon needs right now is angering yet another oil-rich Arab dictator.
Even the French are giving him a red-carpet treatment..(Photo: NY times)
As if we haven’t had enough foreign meddlers in our country, our judicial system took it upon itself to add another one. Just like that, we decided that our life is so boring right now that we need to infuriate a crazy Arab leader who has money to spare.
It doesn’t matter who came up with the idea and it doesn’t matter if it’s the “right thing to do” at this moment. It is definitely not the wisest thing to do. An angry Gaddafi could sniff out the political party behind this decision and shower their opponents with petrodollars to buy weapons and “defend themselves”.
Do we really want to open this door? While we’re at it, why not issue arrest warrants for the Syrian president, the Egyptian president and the Saudi king? Didn’t they all somehow contribute in our uncivil war?
The Lybian president is a terrible person, but a Lebanese warrant to arrest him is nothing but utter stupidity.
Hello, my name is Mustapha and I have been blogging about Lebanese society and politics since February 2005. You can also find me on 
Do you really think it was up to our “judicial system”… This is the making of Lebanon’s Shiite defacto rulers.
Isnt’t it unfair?
At least, they’ve done something right. It is not like that will make any difference anyway; that crazy bastard hardly needs any reasons to mess with us anyway.
So Hezbollah gets to indict people that have committed crimes against it, now? Whatever. Maybe when Hezbollah starts delivering up criminals who have committed crimes in other countries, there will be cause to support such an idea. In the meantime: lol
Let’s see — an arrest warrant that is impossible to carry out, issued decades after the crime. How very typical of the Lebanese judicial system.
Have you noticed that they did not accuse him of killing the Imam in order to preserve the myth of the “Imam al-moughayyab”…
Mouammar is now the darling of the west after having ditched his “nuclear” program. How easy they fell for it and now he is back to his old self, visiting countries and being treated to heads of state visits to his nomadic tent wherever he goes! Yes, we certainly can’t afford to anger him:-)
Great Ideas Abu Steif!
May the Great Leader Mouamar El Kadhaffi, the maker of the Great Green Book ”shower HizbIran opponents with petrodollars to buy weapons and “defend themselves”.
May he as well send fierce fighters and suicide bombers to Liberate Lebanon from the Iranian occupation.
Justice is finally served both ways!
You know I don’t think the decision will make much of a difference. As long as the Khaleejiyat want a place to party and get plastered, Khaleeji oil will be a flowin’ in the direction of Lebanon. And same holds true for Irani oil but in conjunction with Hizbillah. Ya3ne, Gaddafi oil means nothing when you got the House of Saud and Ahmedinejad on your side :)
Hopefully, Lebanon will invest in wind power so they don’t have to deal with all this bullsh*t but I doubt it.
Seems we’re mixing up things here…
Hizbis hate Moussa el Sadr and his memory probably more than they hate Ariel Sharon….they never cared about knowing anything about him and it is only by obligation that hassouna mentionned him on his funtar liberation speech. In the bayen wizari, the hezb was against mentionning anything about moussa el sadr…
Talking about moussa el sadr is great to create divisions between amal and hizbis and the “reconciliation” period is perfect to bring up this issue…hope we follow up…
AL MAWTOU LI IRAANNNNNNNNNN
