Any time Hezbo's going through "tough times" it's grand news that's well worth celebrating:
BEIRUT (AP) — These are tough
times for
Hezbollah.
The Shiite militant group's uncompr omising support for Syrian President
Bashar
Assad and allegations that it attacked Israeli tourists in Bulgaria are both
unpopular in Lebanon, where it is increasingly accused of putting the interests
of longtime patrons Iran and Syria over those of its home country.
For many in the deeply polarized
and war-weary nation, Hezbollah's involvement in last year's bus attack that
killed five Israelis, if confirmed, constitutes further proof that the group is
willing to compromise the country's security for external agendas.
"Hezbollah uses the Lebanese
people like sandbags, they don't care about the people," complained
Michel
Zeidan, echoing the views of others who called in to a talk radio show
Wednesday.
"These are very serious
accusations which would demonstrate once again that Hezbollah is completely
driven by foreign agendas,"
Ahmad
Fatfat, a Lebanese lawmaker in the pro-Western camp opposed to Hezbollah,
told
The
Associated Press.
Hezbollah has denied involvement
in the Bulgaria attack and has not made any direct comments since the findings
of an investigation were announced Tuesday...
It's good to see that at least some folks in Lebanon have wised up to Hezbo's M.O., and have had enough of it.
