Lebanon, Beware The Wrath Of a Future, Democratic Iran
October 18, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
An Iranian green-movement blogger warns the Lebanese that the future, democratic Iran will not forget how Lebanon embraced Ahmadinejad:
the future belongs to the Iranian people. As Iranians will never forget the support Lebanon showed for the person that cheated an election and cracked down on its youth and women. How would future Iranian Green leaders be able to justify support for Lebanon after this? Already were the ordinary Iranian people blaming the elite forces of Ahmadinejad to be of Lebanese origin, and this display of support only confirmed the thoughts of millions of Iranians.
His post is not fair. There are many people in Lebanon who were not represented by the cheering crowds the same way that there are many democratic Iranians who were not represented by Mr. Ahmadinejad. It is hypocritical for the blogger to claim to speak for the people of Iran while at the same time accusing the people of Lebanon of embracing Ahmadinejad.
