HEZBOLLAH OCCUPIES LEBANON

The "Arab street" is quick to condemn "occupation" unless it happens to be Arab-run. How come there are no demonstrations against Hezbollah for bringing death and destruction to Lebanon? This is a foreign-run gang (read Syria and Iran) occupying Lebanese soil. The Lebanese government had six years after Israel left to get rid of Hezbollah. Yet it did nothing. It allowed a murderous gang to take over a country and now its citizens are blaming Israel and the U.S. for its own failures.

The "Arab street" is fixated on Israel and the U.S. as the source of all its troubles. When will its people realistically look at who and what are really destroying the Middle East? Until they lose their mass delusions there can be no peace. No diplomacy in the world can solve this conundrum.

The U.S. government should concern itself less with the "Arab street." It will hate us no matter what because hate is what the terrorist groups keep feeding the people and that's what its media keeps amplifying. The U.S. needs to follow its own convictions and hope that the day will come when Arabs will shake off their delusions and stop sacrificing their young people on the altar of false gods.
