Scathing Saudi Article Blasts Syria’s Lebanon Meddling
August 22, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui
The Saudi Okaz newspaper wrote what must be the hardest hitting Saudi criticism of Syria in the history of their mutual relationship, marking a new low in their deteriorating relation.
No smiles between Assad and Abdullah
The article starts with the question many Lebanese are asking:
?? ????? ?? ?????? ????? ????? ?? ?? ????? ?????? ?????? ?? ???? ??????? ?? ????? ??????? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ???? ?????? ??? ????? ???????? ??? ??? ???????
Translation (mine)
Is Syria the problem and the solution at the same time? What is better for Lebanon: To be independent from Syria and threatened in its security and livelihood, or to be a Syrian lackey and win an artificial peace?
Read the entire thing then come back and tell me what you think:
Is it time for Syria to be denounced loudly and publicly by powerful Arab allies, or is this Saudi tirade an unnecessary emotional outburst that could ultimately hurt the Lebanese?
