Now guns turn towards Lebanon

US President George W. Bushd has warned Iran and Syria that the international community would not allow Lebanon to fall under foreign domination again and vowed to shore up the Lebanese Army. Bush said he planned to consult the regional leaders during his trip to the Middle East this week to coordinate efforts to support Siniora’s Government.
The tone and tenor of the American President clearly shows that the United States has decided to turn its guns towards Lebanon and that will make the already delicate situation more complex. Experts say that Lebanon is the most politically complex and religiously divided country in the Middle East, which is what makes it such a potentially explosive factor in an unstable region. The situation demands that the Lebanese should be allowed to handle their own affairs and decide their own fate but efforts to impose a solution from outside, as Bush is suggesting, would make things worse. In fact, it is American and Israeli interventions and interference that are the real problem, as the two countries are trying to destabilize Lebanon as part of the strategy to secure the Jewish State. Israel, fully backed by the United States, used its entire might to destroy Lebanon and kill its people but miserably failed in the face of heroic resistance by Hizbollah. We believe that the American agenda in Lebanon is part of its overall strategy to target Muslim countries one by one. It is doing the same in Iraq and Afghanistan and its threats to Iran and Syria are part of the same game. Unfortunately, leadership of the Muslim world is unable to safeguard political sovereignty or economic interests of the Ummah. We believe that there is logic in the Saudi position that the problem in Lebanon can be resolved if outside forces respect independence and sovereignty of the country and stop meddling in its affairs and inciting sectarian tensions.
