Hezbollah Is Democracy
Things are undeniably bad when Hezbollah (yes, that Hezbollah, of well known loves-to-slaughter-Jewish-people notoriety) is not only offering advice on proper democratic practices, but when said advice is reported as almost plausible.
Then again, I guess they do have a small point. As in, we are interfering ever so slightly in domestic Lebanese matters. But if those wacky Middle Easterners decide to elect yet another government consisting primarily of terrorists, as is their propensity, then, sooner or later, we’re going to be called in to clean up the mess.
So why don’t we try to avert that from the outset by making plain our preference for the pro-Western factions within Lebanese politics?
Because attaching the US/UK name to those politicians is sure to do them a world of good amongst their constituents.
I’m gonna give Joe a pass on this one (unlike this earlier statement, which is much more true to his usual form). If he didn’t go do this, then many would say that he should’ve. And what’s the worst that could happen?
Oh right. Every Western-oriented politician gets the boot and Lebanon turns into one giant Hezbollah training camp.
Well, let’s just hope for the best and not think at all about the worst.
