The speech by Hasan Nasrallah yesterday had nothing new on Lebanon. It merely confirmed my suspicion: that the lousy Saudi and Iranian regimes will be able to produce a lousy sectarian Hariri-Hizbullah agreement. But the speech I felt was addressed to Lebanese Sunni (and larger Arab) audiences. Read the section on Iraq. He was rather defensive in explaining that Iraqi resistance groups contain Sunni and Shi`ite elements, and that the Americans themselves have confirmed the existence of Shi`ite resistance. He also said that there are Sunni and Shi`ite collaborators with occupation, but this was the weak section. He just was not able to explain why Hizbullah can't even express criticisms of Maliki or Badr death squads who terrorize Palestinians and Iraqi Sunnis? Why not criticize them by name? And he rightly criticized Bin Ladenite terrorist groups, but there is no question that Badr and Mahdi death squads are also committing terrorist acts against civilians.
