They fund Hezbollah, which is a huge threat to Lebanon! They support Syria, which is a terrorist state that believes Lebanon belongs to them. They support the Hamas terrorist organization.
The only one they don't support is the Al Qaeda, simply because Al Qaeda doesn't accept Shiaism |
The whole Iraqi crisis has been ignited by Bush's false claim that Iraq owns WMD, and we all know now that the claim has been baseless, Muqtada Al Sader's intention ( though seemingly wrong ) is to fight the American invasion out of Iraq, and those accusations of it being a terrorist group of multiple genocide attacks on the Sunni's are but retaliation against prime attacks by the Sunni's themselves ( ex. Al Qaeda) now, I am not taking sides here, but I am just stating facts. Bush now is pulling off the same stunt with Iran, it is planning a military attack on Iran accusing it of being a Nuclear threat ( I'll get back to that point), as for Hizbollah, the group formed in 1982 following the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, therefore Hizbollah is aiming to protect Lebanon from Israel ( between the period ranging from 1982- 2002) Hezbollah waged a war against Israel in order to reclaim it's land back after the latter has occupied Southern Lebanon. As for Syria, it is only in presence in order to keep USA from interfering into Lebanon's matters, it is bad enough that USA has done that in Iraq and now in Iran. Lets not forget that Israel posseses Nuclear weapons made with highly enriched uranium, and has refused to allow the IAEA to monitor it's activities, infact it has taken a silent stance regarding it's possesion of nuclear weapons it never confirmed it or denied it, and if you have heard of Vanunu's story of how he blew the cover around the Israeli nuclear arsenal you would know that Israel handles those sort of matters with high secrecy. Lets not also forget that Israel have actually used it's nuclear arsenal in various wars and attacks, Iran like many other middle eastern countries resorted to Nuclear weapons as a retrot to Israel's development of a nuclear weapon in the 1950's. Therefore, I don't believe that Iran is a threat to anyone, experts believe that Iran lacks the ability to build a nuclear weapon equal to that which it had prior to the gulf war, besides Iran cant rely on it's oil resrvoir to provide it with energy for long, so nuclear energy is crucial. I believe that Bush's problem stems from the fact that Iran is looking to replace dollars with Euros in terms of oil payments which may place USA in a critical situation especially that the latter is facing a grave debt because of it's war on Iraq.
