  • Re: War in The Middle East

    Interesting interview with the half-Armenian President of Lebanon Emile Lahoud:



    Lebanon president: We will fight invaders

    'Violence brings violence ... everybody will lose,' Lahoud says

    (CNN) -- President Emile Lahoud has urged the Lebanese to remain united in the face of an Israeli offensive against Hezbollah and logistical targets in Lebanon that was in its tenth day Saturday.

    In an interview with CNN's Nic Robertson, Lahoud again called for a cessation of the violence and said that if a cease-fire can't be brokered, the Lebanese army is prepared to defend the country -- and Lebanese solidarity ultimately will save the nation.

    ROBERTSON: Mr. Lahoud, it's now 10 days into this war. Is your country any closer to a cease-fire?

    LAHOUD: I'm afraid to say it is not. And really all the time, massacres are happening in Lebanon. All the infrastructure is being hit and we are paying very high price. We have women, children, all are being hit by planes. And they never stop, people think that they will stop for a few hours. They go out to get their food or anything and suddenly they are hit again. This is a real massacre. (Watch Lahoud's complete interview -- 10:25)

    ROBERTSON: Do you think that the war is spiraling out of control and getting worse?

    LAHOUD: It is getting much worse, and day after day more targets are getting hit. As you know the airport has been hit, all bridges, big bridges, small bridges, and now the roads. Only yesterday, only 200 meters from here, at 11 at night, they hit the road. Just like this, they are creating fear and, really, it is cycling to the point of no return. That is why that as soon as possible we are asking that there be a cease-fire.

    ROBERTSON: Is there enough diplomacy under way, international diplomacy, to bring that cease-fire?

    LAHOUD: Yes, we've had lots of visitors coming from abroad. But unfortunately they are talking, going, and coming and talking all the time but with no result. And this makes us think, is there anything behind that? Do they want to give more time to Israel to hit more?

    ROBERTSON: Do they?

    LAHOUD: Well, I think they are giving more time to Israel to hit, thinking that maybe Hezbollah will give up. Hezbollah will not give up. And because of that there will be more casualties, more destruction.

    ROBERTSON: But as commander in chief of the army, why don't you tell the Lebanese army to stop Hezbollah and then bring an end to this?

    LAHOUD: Well, if you knew the interior politics of Lebanon, you will understand that in 2000 Hezbollah was the main liberator of our land. And at the time, the Lebanese army was and still is with what is happening on the frontier. Because, you see, what was happening was Israel with airplanes ... but having the resistance, they think twice. And because of that there is no animosity between the army and the resistance. ... The resistance are Lebanese.

    ROBERTSON: Do you mean the army supports Hezbollah at this time in their fight against Israel?

    LAHOUD: Believe me, what we get from our side is nothing compared to if there is an internal conflict in Lebanon. So out thanks comes when we are united, and we are really united, and the national army is doing its work according to the government, and the resistance is respected in the whole Arab world from the population point of view. And very highly respected in Lebanon as well.

    ROBERTSON: If you were to call on the army now to stop Hezbollah from attacking Israel, to stop Israel therefore attacking Lebanon. Would that divide the army along sectarian lines? Would the Shiites in the army go with Hezbollah?

    LAHOUD: In the first place, I wouldn't give such an order. Believe me, Hezbollah has done a lot for Lebanon in liberating this land. ... Hezbollah is part of the government.

    ROBERTSON: Would you call upon the Lebanese army to join the fight if Israel invades on a land invasion in large numbers across the border? (Watch how mismatched the Lebanese army would be against Israel -- 1:45)

    LAHOUD: Of course, the army is going to defend its land, and inside Lebanon they can do a lot. They cannot be strong enough to be against Israel on the frontier, because they have much more stronger materiel and weaponry. Inside [Lebanon] they know the land and, of course, they will fight the invading folks of Israel if it tries to come inside.

    ROBERTSON: You will give them an order to go fight along the border?

    LAHOUD: It's not Lahoud who gives them the order, it's the government. And I'm sure the government will give the order not to allow Israelis to invade Lebanon, for sure.

    ROBERTSON: How close is this country to moving its army into the fight now?

    LAHOUD: Well, I can't tell you now. What we're thinking is to have a cease-fire. That's what we're thinking because things that have been happening have not been happening before. I'll give you an example: Only yesterday, 23 tons of ammunition explosives came on one building, one mosque that is being built. That is more than is a tactical nuclear bomb. That means that they are using like a tactical nuclear [bomb]. But because [it is] conventional weaponry, no one is saying anything. But the result is really havoc, and we can not accept it. So before thinking about anything else and telling the army what to do and all that, the international community must really, as soon as possible, stop this killing, stop this fire. And then after that we can talk about what to do.

    ROBERTSON: What are the terms of a deal that have to be worked out, and who is going to tell Hezbollah to stop fighting?

    LAHOUD: If there is a cease-fire then they will start talking about everything. ... And they were discussing it, and they postponed the meeting for the end of this month to talk about the same subject. So why not let the Lebanese between themselves solve this thing?

    ROBERTSON: Can the Lebanese government accept a buffer zone, an international buffer zone, with the strength of U.N. force between Lebanon and Israel?

    LAHOUD: All of these subjects can be talked about after the cease-fire, because if you talk about it now it's up to the decision of the Lebanese to decide that and the government. Now, if we start talking about this, this is between the Lebanese, and probably that is what Israel is trying to do because by hitting all the time it makes maybe some Lebanese have conflict with other Lebanese. And it has been trying six years to do that. ... And now that the Lebanese are united they are trying to find a way to divide them.

    We're going to stay united, and that's what makes the strength of Lebanon. And we want ourselves to solve our problems, not to force these problems on us. Because when you force these problems, believe me, when we are united nobody can do it. And the proof is that when in 2000 nobody believed we could liberate our land but we could do it because the Lebanese were united and the national army was with the united Lebanon and with the resistance.

    ROBERTSON: Not everyone supports Hezbollah, and there are divisions in this community. And this country fought a 15-year civil war over those divisions. Those divisions are re-emerging below the surface of support of the attacks that are going on. Those figures could realistically grow bigger.

    LAHOUD: Yes, but we're not going to let them. Because the Lebanese have learned the lesson. Because when they fight between themselves it's much worse than having someone come from outside. Because we've seen what happened in '75 because we paid a very high price. Now, being united, whatever Israel can do we stay strong, because this makes the morale of the Lebanese stronger when they are united and no one can beat them.

    ROBERTSON: Having so many displaced people moving around the country, half a million according to the U.N., raising tensions. We saw a situation yesterday where displaced people told us they were being turned away from collection centers along sectarian, religious and ethnic lines.

    LAHOUD: Believe me, this is not true because they are welcome in all our homes. And all Lebanese are saying whoever wants to come is very welcome, and they have made centers all over Lebanon to welcome them. ... So let's live together and, like the late Pope John Paul said, let Lebanon, who has 17 different religious sects, is a message to the world that we can live together. So, if we can live together under stress like now, and after this finishes we can become even stronger. And it will be a strong message to the world that religious sectarians and people in the world can live together in peace and harmony.

    ROBERTSON: Are there any behind-the-scenes diplomatic talks under way that are going to de-escalate the situation right now?

    LAHOUD: Well, we hope so. Talks are being made and many are trying to find ways how to solve things but they are slow.

    ROBERTSON: Is there anything concrete on the table? Any concrete plans?

    LAHOUD: Until now, no. We have just heard secretary-general of the U.N. He proposed the plan and said we'll talk about it. But children are being killed, massacred. And we don't see these pictures of these children in the international media because of political reasons. If you see them, well you can't wait to talk about it and wait for these children and women with nowhere to go and live under bombs and shells. They just live outside. They don't have a shelter. We can't wait for the talks to go on. Meanwhile the aircrafts are bombing whatever they want in Lebanon. It never happened. ... I don't see anything in history that has happened like what is happening now. Airplanes are hitting civilians all over the country and [there is no] retaliation on these airplanes because they are civilians. Now, they want to solve this, they must stop the fire and sit around the table and talk about this.

    ROBERTSON: But if there is nothing on the table right now, the implication is that this is going to spiral out of control, get worse, and spread throughout the region.

    LAHOUD: Exactly, and that's why we're saying we don't want to reach the point of no return.

    ROBERTSON: Are you at the point of no return yet?

    LAHOUD: Not yet.

    ROBERTSON: How close?

    LAHOUD: We are close, but not yet. We can do a lot if we can stop the fighting now.

    ROBERTSON: Days or weeks?

    LAHOUD: I hope ... that we solve this problem before it escalates and then we can't stop it. Believe me, violence brings violence, and it will be a cycle that no one will be able to get out of and everybody will lose. If Israel thinks it's going to win, it's very mistaken. You cannot solve things and have peace in the region with violence. It might be now they have all this weaponry. But what about the children and the people who have brothers and sisters now dying? Well, they're pushing them to, really, well, they don't have anything to lose. For them, their life is nothing, so whatever will do to them. In the future they will seek revenge. So the only way [is] to stop the firing right now for the good of everybody.

    ROBERTSON: There's no timeframe yet for Secretary Rice to visit the region, how much does that concern you?

    LAHOUD: Well, I can tell you it was said two days ago that she was coming and she didn't come. ... But it's not coming and going that counts, it's the solution that counts. We hope they have a solution for the cease-fire.

    ROBERTSON: What's the solution that's going to work here?

    LAHOUD: Cease-fire and then we talk.

    ROBERTSON: How do you get the cease-fire? The Israelis want their soldiers back.

    LAHOUD: There were three in Lebanon that have been in prison since 30 years. And there were many, and there was an exchange. So why now, suddenly, after taking two soldiers they have done such a retaliation? Because I believe all was planned from before and, unfortunately, they were waiting for the moment. And when the moment came and these two soldiers were taken, they had the plan of attack. It's not for the reason that the soldiers were taken, it's for other reasons. Because since 2000 they have wanted to take their revenge because they had to leave Lebanon. They have other things in mind as well.

    ROBERTSON: Why didn't the government keep Hezbollah under control if the situation is so potentially divisive?

    LAHOUD: All I can say is now two soldiers have been taken and in response they are doing massive destruction in Lebanon. Is that right? I don't think so because it is very disproportionate. Two soldiers have been taken, and in the past soldiers have been taken and they exchange. So now, why they are doing that? Because they have a previous plan and they are executing that plan in that way thinking they will do what they did in '82. But things have changed since '82.

    ROBERTSON: How?

    LAHOUD: Because it's not like '82 that they can come in Lebanon and make a promenade until they reach Beirut. These people, underground Lebanese, are ready to die for their land.

    ROBERTSON: Hezbollah?

    LAHOUD: Not only Hezbollah, many people are ready to die for their land. Wouldn't you do that if they go inside your country? You'd do the same. And the Lebanese army as well. We're not going to let anyone take our land. We've done it in the past, we liberated our land. We're not going to let them come back and take it from us.

    ROBERTSON: How bad is the humanitarian situation right now?

    LAHOUD: It's a catastrophe. If I told you there's nothing to eat, nothing to put fuel in their cars, electricity is nearly always stopped. You can't go on the road because you don't know when an aircraft hits you. ... And we know very well, by the satellite you can see the number of the part. So how can they make that mistake? They're using these ways to make people afraid and leave the country and then bring down the morale of the people. And then at the end they come and occupy and do what they did at the end of '82, or change everything in Lebanon and have it the way they want it like they did in '82. We're not going to let them.

    ROBERTSON: How bad is the destruction? How long will it take the country to rebuild? How much will it cost the country?

    LAHOUD: Only today I [was] told that everything is going up quickly. Now it's $3 billion, only two days ago it was $2 billion. ... Well, some bridges take five years to build, so it will take the same. But even then we don't want to reach the point of no return. Because once you reach the point of return, it becomes desperate, and he's ready to die for his country and this becomes a big problem for everybody.

        If someone does not stop this it will end up becoming a major international conflict. Iran and Russia don't want to see Syria falling victim to American Zionist aggression. At the same time, however, Israel and America are in a very bad position. Iran has forced them to make a move, a move they would have eventually attempted but they would have wanted to do it under their terms.

        Now, it's Iran that is setting the agenda in Iraq and Lebanon. Iran know that it will not be invaded. Iran has the military technology unlike Iraq, to destroy the American Naval fleet in the Persian Gulf and cut off tens of thousands of American troops in Iraq.

        Take a look at just one of their missle systems: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/show...19&postcount=7

        Israel bombed Lebanon heavily because it believed that bombing Lebanon to punish the Hizbollah would turn the public sentiments in Lebanon, already against Syria, against Hizbollah as well. Just like the American miscalculation in Iraq - when they thought they were going to be greeted as liberators - Israel has realized that the Lebanese people are not going to oppose the Hizbollah for various reasons.

        Thus, Tel Aviv is now forced to do something.

        Israel, if it invades Lebanon, will be able to move up to the Litani river using its heavy armor and mechanized troops. And in doing so, the IDF will lose high numbers of men and material. However, what then? Will they stay there and keep getting shot at and bombed? Or will they pull out and allow Hisbollah to claim victory? Tel Aviv is in a f-ed up situation - to say the least.

        This fighting must be stoped by the western powers, Im afraid it will go out of control if it does not.

        I have to disagree with your argument that Iran forced anything. What has Iran forced? What evidence is there that suggests you to believe that? That because of the geopolitical seismic activities the situation now benefits Iran does not in any way indicate Iran had anything to do with this.

        While Hezbollah is supported by Iran and Syria, it does not necessarily follow from this premise that somehow Iran had something to do with this, nor is there any evidence. The fact that they are supported is enough to convince Israeli and America of guilt by association. To the contrary, this is part of the initiation of a long term plan by the America-Zionist clique which began with Iraq and is now spreading.

        I do agree with the rest of your analysis though, and this does not bode well for America or Israel. If anything, it will have the opposite effect, increasing the ranks of the terrorists, the Islamic fundamentalists, etc., etc.

          Well, obviously, its 'MY' interpratation. I simply believe that Iran wants to cause chaos in the region in order to foil American and Zionist plans and divert attention from itself. At the very least, Iran is glad at what has occured, even if it did not directly have a hand in it. However, since Iran directly funds, supplies and trains the Hizbollah, including giving it some high tech weapons, I believe that it controls Hizbollah's actions as well.

          Iran is in the drivers seat in Iraq and Lebanon. The Iraqi governemnt is in essence a Shiite government with close ties with Tehran. That is why Iran is not worried about Iraq and is allowing Americans to bleed slowly. In Lebanon, they have the most capable force in the Hizbollah. So, whether or not they planned last weeks Hizbollah operation, they are the ones who are benifiting most from all this. Russia is a major player here as well, albeit not an obvious one. Russia is very concerned about the well being of Syria and obviously will not sit by and allow Iran to get attacked.

          This is good news to Armenia.

            This is where there is a gap I believe. That because it funds Hezbollah and provides them with weapons, does not translate to directly controlling Hezbollah's actions. Hezbollah is, first and foremost its own organization and entity, with its own goals and motives. It is no different than when Israel funded Hamas, or America funded the Mujahadeen.

            Iran being the one benefiting the most out of all this is a far cry from Iran being the instigator of all this. Nevertheless I agree that Iran is the absolute winner in this case and the conflict with Iran is inevitable now. It's too late as Israel has literally set off the fuse. The chaos in the region will be anything but good for Armenia. If Iran (Armenian's only ally in that region) is embroiled in war, Armenia's situation will deteriorate. Iran is one of the few countries that provides a link for Armenia to outside markets and trade, whereas relations with the Turks and the disgusting Georgians are at a stand still.

            However, Iran is not worried because unlike Iraq, it did not have a decade of sanctions to totally destroy its infrastructure and economically cripple it. Iran is a very powerful country and I believe if any war erupts, which is likely the case, Iran will be the backbreaker in this conflict, directing swift blows to the surrounded, demoralized and extended American military in Iraq, and Israel.

            All the while the stupid Americans under Israeli mind control will go to war, exhaust their resources and armies and will continue further down the road of decadence and economic collapse. The debt and deficit will grow, the prices of oil and gas will rise, and the situation in this country will be very bleak all thanks to the blood lust of a few Zionists. This is the perfect set up for the entry into the world stage of the next superpower, China. This is not only the playing out of geopolitical forces of the Middle East, but also the shift of the center of power from West to East, from America to China, from Europe to the East, from Israel to the Arabs, power is moving eastward. Sadly this is the doing of the West itself.

                In the short term this situation will most probably hurt many nations economically and some physically. However, in the long term I see Iran And Russia gaining power in the region and that translates well for Armenia. A stronger Russia and Iran means a weaker America, Israel and Turkey. That is why I said this is good for Armenia.

This is not only the playing out of geopolitical forces of the Middle East, but also the shift of the center of power from West to East, from America to China, from Europe to the East, from Israel to the Arabs, power is moving eastward. Sadly this is the doing of the West itself.
                Fully agree.

                  Btw, do you hear the silence of the Arab world? Now you all know what side the governments of nations like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan are on.
                  Those countries are in America's pockets. The leaders are about as disconnected from their peoples as Pluto is from Earth. I believe in time though, the rage of the peoples in those countries will bring down those puppet regimes. It's only a matter of time. Sadly, Israel does not realize that its days are numbered. Quite frankly, I am sick and tired of Israel. I do not sympathize with them, and if the world has to go down the tubes in a nuclear holocaust then I'd rather it go down like that, if the alternative is for Israel to exist in its blood lusting and parasitic way.

                    I will agree to disagree with you on this.
                    Given that there is no evidence to suggest Iran had anything to do with Hezbollah's actions, I cannot come up with evidence that shows Iran had nothing to do with Hezbollah's actions, as that is already the case. I would be trying to prove a negative.

                    Even in the interview you linked Lebanon's president suggested this was part of Israel's plans, and I believe this is consonant with the paper published by the Bush neo-con/dual Israeli citizen Zionists titled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm". This was a tidbit from the article I linked earlier:

                    The world has seen this movie before. The seed for understanding the New Middle East war was sown 10 years ago, in 1996. Everything keeps pointing back to the infamous paper "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm", prepared by neo-cons such as Richard Perle, David and Meyrav Wurmser and Douglas Feith for Likud hardliner Benyamin Netanyahu.

                    In case you haven't noticed, they are all Joos. How come there are so many Joos disproportionately involved in Bush's foreign policy making? I wonder why that is?

                    In the short term this situation will most probably hurt many nations economically and some physically. However, in the long term I see Iran And Russia gaining power in the region and that translates well for Armenia. A stronger Russia and Iran means a weaker America, Israel and Turkey. That is why I said this is good for Armenia.
                    Since we cannot predict how the world will play out per chaos theory, we cannot know for sure how it will reverberate and thus how it will bode for Armenia. However, one thing we do know is that war is the the ultimate destroyer of life, of trade, of wealth, or spirit. It destroys lives, buildings, towns, countries and entire economies so the only thing we can see is the immediate destruction of war which is not good, and thanks again to Israeli blood lust.

                      It urks Stepan Partamian too. Though I doubt many Armenians here watch his television program.
