threadbear,

No, I'm just really turned off by someone posting pro-Hizballah propaganda over and over on a website dedicated to peak oil knowing this organization that supports the implementation of an absolutely demonic legal system called Islamic law.

Is there any possible we we can get "Cid" sent to a Haliburton /KBR camp for re-education? His/her drivel is excruciating.

How Nazi/Fascist/UnAmerican is that?

Do the true Americans see these statements and recognize them for what they are?

America is at a crossroad. Either defend the Constitution or lose it.

If you chose the latter, it's over. The Constitution IS America.

You want a Nazi Fascist State? Good for you, but expect to face me and those like me with a gun in your hand.

I will go down fighting.

Sword and Oil4u,

Are the articles true or false in the facts reported? Analyze the article which started this thread and show me which facts are not true - re-educate me and enlighten me please.

seahorse,

Debating what policies the US has have had, and there shortcomings, as well as the policies we should implement to insure a liberal democracy in Islamic countries is beyond the scope of an Internet Blog. And certainly beyond the scope of a website dedicated to peak oil.

But debate of reasoned opinion isn't what CID is posting this snippets for. Did you see him add commentary? Thoughtful insight?

Helli, he hasn't even answered if he supports the creation of a liberal democracy of an Islamic state in Lebanon (or other Islamic countries)?

stu

Numerous threads merged.

Absolute Bull Crap. Where do you think our oil comes from Seditionist? Where do you think it won't be coming from soon due to the policies of the Bush Administration? Hope you like walking.

The U.S. appears unable to grasp that it no longer has any options or reliable partners left in Lebanon. American officials make statements about supporting the democratically elected Lebanese government, but essentially no such government exists. The Lebanese army, many of whose soldiers are Shi'a Muslims and support the opposition, would split apart if pressed into service against Hizballah. The American-trained security services value their lives more than the $300 million in U.S. aid they've received and haven't fired a shot at Hizballah. And like Jumblatt, government ministers are marked men. Meanwhile, the American warship USS Cole is heading to the Mediterranean, but if the U.S. staged any military action against Hizballah, the group could take American hostages in Lebanon just as they did in the 1980s.

Sitting in his garden terrace in Beirut, with just a few family members and loyal retainers, Jumblatt is quickly coming to grips with the new political landscape. "The U.S. has failed in Lebanon and they have to admit it," he said. "We have to wait and see the new rules which Hizbollah, Syria and Iran will set. They can do what they want."

An insiders few on Lebanon

I am not sure what was the worse part of this week. Living in Lebanon? Or reading the outrageous words of George Bush? Several times, I have asked myself this question: have words lost their meaning?

So let's start with lunch at the Cocteau restaurant in Beirut. Yes, it's named after Jean Cocteau, and it is one of the chicest places in town. Magnificent flowers on the table, impeccable service, wonderful food. Yes, there was shooting at Sodeco – 20 yards away – the day before; yes, we were already worried about the virtual collapse of the Lebanese government, the humiliation of Sunni Muslims (and the Saudis) in the face of what we must acknowledge as a Hizbollah victory (don't expect George Bush to understand this) and the danger of more street shooting. But I brought up the tiny matter of the little massacre in northern Lebanon in which 10 or 12 militiamen were captured and then murdered before being handed over to the Lebanese army. Their bodies were – I fear this is correct – mutilated after death.

"They deserved it," the elegant woman on my left said. I was appalled, overwhelmed, disgusted, deeply saddened. How could she say such a thing? But this is Lebanon and a huge number of people – 62 by my count – have been killed in the past few days and all the monsters buried in the mass graves of the civil war have been dug up.

I chose escalope du veau at the Cocteau – I am sickened by how quickly I decided on it – and tried to explain to my dear Lebanese friends (and they are all dear to me) how much fury I have witnessed in Lebanon.
