Hezbollah peacefully moving foreward…
BEIRUT — Lebanon’s Iranian-backed Hezbollah took control of the Muslim part of Beirut on Friday, tightening its grip on the city in a major blow to the U.S.-backed government.
Security sources said at least 11 people had been killed and 30 wounded in three days of battles between pro-government gunmen and fighters loyal to Hezbollah, a Shi’ite political movement with a powerful guerrilla army.
The European Union, Germany and France urged calm and a peaceful resolution. Syria said the issue was an internal Lebanese affair while Iran blamed “the adventurist interferences” of the United States and Israel for the violence. (…)
If Hezbollah are fighting to defend the people of Lebanon (ie: Freedom fighters), then how come they come in guns blazing, sometimes attacking neighboring Israel without a clear mandate by Lebanon, or this time attacking the Lebanese people themselves? How can anyone blame the United States and Israel on this one? It’s a civil war scenario. It’s Hezbollah muscling in to take a better position.
