Comments on: AOUN THREATENS VIOLENT COUP IN LEBANON http://rightwingnuthouse.com/archives/2006/12/10/aoun-threatens-violent-coup-in-lebanon/ Politics served up with a smile... And a stilletto. Sun, 10 May 2026 08:45:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Rick Moran http://rightwingnuthouse.com/archives/2006/12/10/aoun-threatens-violent-coup-in-lebanon/comment-page-1/#comment-487402 Rick Moran Tue, 23 Jan 2007 12:41:17 +0000 http://rightwingnuthouse.com/archives/2006/12/10/aoun-threatens-violent-coup-in-lebanon/#comment-487402 Thank you for your comment. My sources for what is happening in Lebanon are many and varied. Al Jazeera. Asarq Alawsat, Daily Star, Naharnet, Ya Libnan, and the Israeli press. I also peruse quite a few Lebanese blogs where your point of view about corruption in the Siniora government is mentioned frequently. From all of these sources, I still get the impression that while there is a feeling among the majority of Lebanese of a "pox on both Hizbullah and March 14" for not sitting down and trying to settle the situation, there is also I believe a widespread revulsion at what Nasrallah is doing and the feeling that he is manufacturing this crisis at the behest of his benefactors in Damascus and Tehran. I know as much about what is going on there - the history, the personalities, and the political dynamics of the situation as any westerner and probably more than many Lebanese. Perhaps you should be mindful of your own biases and not try and preach to others before examining them. Rick Moran Thank you for your comment.
