To give him the benefit of the doubt, further investigating is in order. Yet, I would like to ask him about all of the numerous reports concerning Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas reported by Future TV and other news sources throughout the region and beyond, does he consider them as being all accurate and true? And if the Lebanese opposition supporters claimed that many of them are not true, would he be willing to do more investigating from different news sources than the usual ones that he is accustomed to reading, listening, or watching?<BR/><BR/>Concerning Mr. Alkhatib's prediction of what will happen, due to the recent events in Lebanon, tells me that he sees this as a Sunni/Shia conflict.<BR/>And that based on this he is also predicting the probability of Al Qaeda wanting to take revenge on behalf of Saad Hariri's Sunni followers in Lebanon. For me, I see this as a very good reason why the Future TV channel should not have been portraying the political differences in Lebanon as a Sunni/Shia conflict, when in fact it is a conflict which came about primarily due to the Neocon orchestrated U.S./Israeli plans and actions in the region.<BR/><BR/>If Mr. Saad Hariri is truly a secular leader, his Future TV should have stayed away from promoting the conflict in Lebanon as a Sunni/Shia divide. <BR/><BR/>Al Qaeda has never served the interests of the Arab/Muslim people, and neither does portraying the conflicts in the region as being Sunni/Shia based. Al Qaeda has been targeting and killing primarily Arab/Muslim civilians through suicide missions throughout the region and beyond while the U.S. is busy going after Israel's greatest enemies in the region. Al Qaeda is obviously not Israel's greatest enemy, therefore they are not a top U.S./Israel priority. <BR/><BR/>Taking the focus away from the 9/11 attacker Al Qaeda and putting it on Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas is because Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas are a strategic threat to Israel, as well as U.S. plans for the region. Al Qaeda has become a pretext for the U.S. to have an excuse to stay in Iraq and keep interfering in the region. Which means that in effect, Al Qaeda is serving the U.S./Israeli interests in the region and not the Arab or Muslim people of the region's interests.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
