Leading Lebanese Nixes Nato

According to the globeandmail, Bahia Hariri, sister of Rafik Hariri, the former prime minister of Lebanon who was assassinated last year, said idea of deploying NATO troops in the south of the country to create a buffer zone with Israel and bolster efforts to disarm Hezbollah was dangerous and would not succeed.

Interesting, Lebanon can't control Hezbollah, but they don't want anyone else reining in these murderers either. She said that such a force would only take the place of Israel as the target of the Islamic militia's wrath. This is precisely the reason we need a force to disarm and dismantle this mob of maniacs. It is important to note that this woman blames the current conflict on Israel. She is also upset at Canada because Prime Minister Stephen Harper called Israel's response "measured."

"I have a message for Canada, there's no excuse for killing women and children, for killing civilians," she said. "Does a country stronger than you have a right to attack you? If the United States attacked Canada, would that be acceptable?"

Well, it would be if Canada was invading the US, killing and kidnapping our soldiers and firing rockets into Chicago. In fact, other than the Russ Feingolds and Cindy Sheehans of this nation, Americans would probably demand it.

There is no arguing with a mind that is so twisted by blind hate and bitterness it refuses to embrace fact. It is true of the left and the terrorists and both are equally dangerous.
