Oslo was a great success: The palestinians have their independent state, the refugees have been repatriated, and the 48-palestinians are equal-rights citizens. <BR/><BR/>The battle maybe at a lull, but remember that Outremer lasted for 200 years, though at times the war seemed to be over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10968421.post-1140244533573354222006-02-18T01:35:00.000-05:002006-02-18T01:35:00.000-05:00Go to Tehran and either convince those Mullahs or ...<I>Go to Tehran and either convince those Mullahs or eliminate them. </I><BR/><BR/>Or, go to TelAviv and either convince those rabbis or eliminate them! <BR/>What about that?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10968421.post-1140244260084917452006-02-18T01:31:00.000-05:002006-02-18T01:31:00.000-05:00>I would go with the latter, no questions asked.

Then why are you making it an accusation and making hizbullah a traitor for having ties?!. And why is the 14 march gang claiming they are pro-lebanon?! What the hell 'lebanon first' means?! Hypocracy?! (I say no! political gullability.)<BR/>The disaster is that they are claiming to be pure lebanese??! Very nice. Where are you Hitler?!<BR/><BR/>HN said long before that he has a freindship with them and has nothing to hide (refer to his speeches if you care), but Hizbullah denied an Alliance in the way accused by 14 march gang, you guys are very funny in critisizing hizbullah. You want HA to be a political party and then and after any political, social, ...etc decision it makes, you say that it is an order from syria!! The same old opressive mentality (even worse). If someone critizes syria then He is kha2en and now if you critize the goverment or the mini-hariri choices, then you are a traitor.<BR/><BR/>HN is clearly the most honest lebanese politician. (After all I'm comparing him to whom? mini-hariri and the war-crimianls, Chameleon and ga3ga3?!)<BR/><BR/>Sorry pal, I can't get you seriously.
