Tripartite Terrorist Summit
Makes sense; even terrorists - even terrorist states - have a need to meet, to discuss, to negotiate, and above all to issue statements of intent and sympathy to ensure onlookers are adequately oriented in recognition of their purpose. Needless to say, as terrorists and terror-inspiring states they have complete confidence in one another as allies, but it doesn't hurt to meet now and again face-to-face to make certain that each entity issues complementary messages.In this particular instance, it was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cheek-pecking his Syrian alter-ego, Bashar Assad. Oh yes, once the business of the day, the week, the month, this era - to marshall into reality the lapsed-but-impending Caliphate, tritagonist Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah was also brought into these vital discussions.
With a determined facade of confidence they face the world outside to waggishly recommend that the international community take a hand in the task at hand, which is to "stop repeated Zionist aggression against Lebanese sovereignty". Is that not truly amazing? And here we were all under the impression that Lebanese sovereignty was being threatened by Syria's undisguised greed for Lebanon's natural resources so beloved of her own people.
And if memory serves - and often it doesn't, requiring a gentle shove of re-orientation from such as this triumvirate - it was Hezbollah who brazenly attacked the State of Israel, with said State responding with alacrity, surprising just about everyone, including themselves. Details, details - and details are often such inconvenient obstacles to fuller understanding of revisionism.
It must have been some party, that meet-and-greet between Syrian and Iranian officials; a two-day state event no less. But then, when one is planning covertly, even overtly as we've seen from time to time, to re-arrange the political-religious-social map of the world, there is much to discuss. And of course, to agree on carefully worded statements to the world at large, to impress upon that breathless audience the depth of thought that went into these verbal constructions.
For example: "it is necessary to consolidate national unity and harmony among all Lebanese to assure the stability and security of Lebanon". Kindly assurances of sympathy and recognition of autonomous need on the part of these Lebanon-obsessed conspirators for justice and triumph. They have expressed, furthermore, lest any observers ascribe underhanded motivations to them, their "support for all decisions taken by all Lebanese".
There you have it. Oops, must have slipped their collective minds to invite Faoud Siniora or any of his elected cabinet. Just to kind of determine first-hand how the Lebanese themselves, the Christians, the Druze and the Sunnis feel about the situation. Mind, given the frequency of Lebanese leadership assassinations they might just have laid themselves open to declarations of interference of the most morbidly-bloodletting intent.
Upon which, it might be incumbent upon these three resolute and integrity-devout leaders to plead their case of concern for the stabilization of Lebanon and the security of its people. A pledge of non-interference and an assurance that no indeed, neither Iran nor Syria have been involved in the unsettling events of the near past. No, definitely not; they have never funded and trained paramilitaries for the purpose of bringing bloody jihad to Lebanon.
Nor, needless to say, was Hezbollah responsible for attracting Israel's attention by bombing it, by killing and kidnapping its soldiers. Yes, a complete and total misunderstanding. Hezbollah's intent, encouraged by its genteel sponsors is not to unsettle the government of Lebanon not at all. Merely to lead it to the path of righteous Islamism.
