“Normal Country”

October 13, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Ehud Barak on Ahmadinejad’s visit:

“Ahmadinejad’s visit clearly reflects Hezbollah’s growing dependence on Iran, and the fact that Lebanon has gradually ceased to be a normal country, where its interests govern its policy, and has somewhat turned into a tool maneuvered by external powers,”

Since when was Lebanon a normal country? This has always been our state of affairs. What’s pissing Mr. Barak off is that the current dominant external force in Lebanon is out of his control.
