Though I might be a critic of Iran on many issues, including their support for Hezbollah and their steering of the latter in Lebanese politics, I am not a fan of US [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=680&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Of course, had Israel handed over the maps earlier, countless deaths could have been avoided. Meanwhile, the international community hardly made a peep while Israel took their sweet time for no logical reason other [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=635&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We will always suffer from instability. Why? Because we will have the forces supprting [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=608&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, Hezbollah&#8217;s true intentions were revealed when Egypt uncovered Hezbollah&#8217;s activities on its own soil. Hezbollah appeared to deny the serious accusations leveled by the Egyptian authorities, but in fact went on to admit that the person arrested there was indeed a member of Hezbollah, and that he was there on official Hezbollah business.

Zionism found unimagined success in their efforts to create a Jewish state in Palestine. Thanks to a strong PR effort combined with well-organized military plan and international support, today Israel is a powerful country and the Palestinians an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=490&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We can only hope to get bits and pieces whenever Syria is in the right mood. The reason is that Lebanon, when at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=442&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
