"Fatah al Islam is a pro-Syrian Palestinian Islamist group that, according to Lebanese and Israeli officials, is supported and directed by Syria and Iran." That sentence by a major neo-conservative says it all. Do you need to continue reading, really? I am surprised that Israeli and Lebanese officials did not link Fath-Al-Islam (an adamantly anti-Syrian and anti-Shi`ite organization) to Venezuela and Castro. Give them a week. (thanks Laleh)
