Opposition Demonstrations Turn Beirut into a Violent Sectarian Battleground
A quote...." So the worst nightmare years may have begun again. There were thousands of them - Christians fighting Christians north of Beirut, Sunni and Shia Muslims in the capital, a rain of stones, shrieks of hatred and occasionally even gunfire - that turned Lebanon into a sectarian battleground yesterday."

Lebanon opposition halts strike
A quote...."Lebanese opposition sources say they have called off the anti-government strike which brought much of the country to a standstill on Tuesday.'"

There go those disgusting Hezbollah "terrorists" again, trying to change Lebanese politics by what Samir Geagea described to al-Jazeera television as "....direct terrorism to paralyze the country."  They even (Gasp! Horror! Shock!) possibly contributed to the deaths of three people with their recent protests. THREE PEOPLE can you believe it!  What a bunch of barbarians!  Luckily realizing this could lead to even more horrendous bloodshed they called off their demonstrations for now.

Contrast this beastly behavior with the US's attempt to change Iraq's politics.  Unlike those callous Hezbollah thugs, the US instituted benign and wonderful policies of tender care for the Iraqi people. Although these policies have admittedly resulted in the deaths of over six hundred thousand Iraqis, the displacement of millions more, the wounding of hundreds of thousands of others and the almost complete destruction of the country’s infrastructure, everyone out there should understand we in the US truly and deeply care for the Iraqi people.  The Iraqis simply have to understand that unlike those ruthless Hezbollah killers the US intends to bring them "freedom and democracy"

Since our goals are so much more superior, as apposed to those cowardly Hezbollah monsters, the US will continue its attempts to change the politics of Iraq even if the US has to kill every one of you Iraqis to do so.  As Bush has already stated “I think the Iraqi people owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude” and “That’s the problem here in America. They wonder whether or not there is a gratitude level that’s significant enough in Iraq.”

In any case the good news for the Lebanese is, if Israel can keep stirring up the pot in Lebanon and launch some more attacks the Lebanese themselves might be able to experience the same wonderful advantages America has brought to Iraq instead of the current political protests.  Isn’t that great news?  Something all Lebanese can look forward too.

Now that you Iraqis understand how much better the US's policies are for you as apposed to the horror which is occurring in Lebanon, it should become clear which path is preferable.

Follow the US's lead so you can enjoy our wonderful "freedom and democracy" even if that means many more of you have to die, and of course while you're busy dying, as a token of your gratitude give us all of your lovely oil and let us keep our bases in your country.

Or - be cast into utter darkness like the Shia in Lebanon will be if they get proportional representation.  Being forced to vote and have your votes actually counted.  Being forced to make the decisions for your own country in consultation with the other ethnic and religious groups.  Not living under the wonderful tutelage and care of the Western powers.  Experiencing the awful burden of not having a superior nation occupy your country, protect you and tell you what to do.

Shocking isn't it when the choices are presented so starkly.

So choose carefully, if you do not, the US might actually leave....and than where will you be?
