Patriarch Sfayr: "Sfeir: Ja, leider gibt es auch einige Christen, die der Hisbollah die Stange halten - wenn auch nur aus taktischen Gründen. Es ist zwar unwahrscheinlich, aber wenn die Hisbollah einmal die Macht im Libanon übernehmen sollte, werden die Christen in Scharen auswandern."* I will tell you this. I don't want Hizbullah to ever take power in Lebanon. I don't want ever for Christians to leave Lebanon. But for Sfayr to leave Lebanon, would be a good thing for the country, especially if he never returns. We have many sunny places here in California where he can relax and harbor his sectarian, right-wing fanatisies.
*"Yes unfortunately there are some Christian who are allied with Hezbollah- if only for tactical reasons.It is unlikely --- but should Hezbollah some day take over power in Lebanon, the Christians would leave in droves."
