WORLD EVENTS ARE NEVER DETERMINED BY FELLOWS!
I'm sure Dr Brahimi is a very intelligent individual, but
she simply misses the mark with this editorial.
As I said last night, the future of Syria no longer belongs to the people of Syria .
She is correct when she states the reluctance for the
Western world to take action on Syria
is based upon who Syria
is affiliated with.
Although she took four paragraphs to say it, she seemed to
comprehend the issue is Iran .
Unless I misread what this " Fellows" Doctorial
"expert said, I simply cannot agree with the concept the people of Lebanon will
decide to stay indifferent.
Indifference, when it comes to violence, is based upon individual
danger.
If the people of Lebanon
feel their lives are truly in danger because of the events in Syria , they
will not stay indifferent.
Yes, they are no strangers to violence and none of them
truly believe hard times will never come to Lebanon again.
What the author of this article again fails to realize is Lebanon , like Syria , will not be allowed to make decisions
for it's own people.
The people of Lebanon ,
like the people of Syria ,
will not make the final judgment to turn to violence or not to turn to violence.
"Others"... Insert Iran ... Saudi... here... will shape
the future of both nations.
As I said last night, the concept of a regional war between
Sunni, Shia,.... Arab.. Persian... is the real issue here and as a mater of
fact, the author event hints to that in her last paragraph.
What is taking place more and more in the Middle
East . Syria ..
Lebanon ..
Bahrain ..
Yemen ..
is no longer an issue of disgruntled, citizens..
It is a regional proxy war... a war that will get worse
before it gets better.
A war that will test the true resolve of a war weary nation
called the US .
A nation that is heading into a election cycle with no appetite
for yet another conflict.
What the author
missed here, is her understanding of just how dangerous the region has
become.
The so called " ceasefire" is a wishful theory by
those who have the luxury of living inside the walls of a University.
Keep writing.. keep getting paid... for that is what this
story is really all about!!!!
