The Complaining Nation

March 19, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

It’s not just our people, it’s our government too:

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry on Saturday filed a complaint with the UN against the Libyan regime after vandals broke into its embassy in Libya earlier in the day.

So our Lebanese UNSC ambassador drafts a law allowing the world to bomb the hell out of the Libyan regime, and then we complain because they sabotage our offices in their country?

This whole “we are filing a complaint to the UN” thing is one big scam. We do it all the time when Israelis fly over our country, which is pointless but ok (there should be a channel to complain of the unfairness of Israeli air superiority,) but when we poke a snake, we have no business complaining when that snake stares back at us..
