Beirut NotesThoughts and Facts Picked Up Here and ThereMonday, August 28, 2006The HeroesThe Lebanese are heroes. The ones who fought Israel in the South and defeated its once mighty army, the ones who rescued the wounded, the ones who took in the refugees and helped them, the ones who never stopped working during the war and the ones who prayed.The Lebanese are heroes and not cowards killing women and children with smart bombs and laser guided missiles from US made jet fighters.The Lebanese are heroes and not monsters who commit massacres in the name of Zionism.Whatever Hezbollah did, (Nasrallah admitted yesterday that he would not have kidnapped the soldiers if he knew what Israel intended to do), and whether it did it for Iran or Syria, is irrelevant.It is Israel that killed my fellow citizens, destroyed our infrastructure and our economy. It is Israels army that was defeated in the fields of our South. The resistance was heroic, Israel was pathetic in its crimes and the world witnessed in real time how immoral a state and a people it is.Israels hate was poured onto Lebanon and part of it was destroyed.

Ah and of course he claims that Hezbollah won the war. But that is classic and discounted populist spin.He also said that Hezbollah will compensate everyone whose house was destroyed. That will make him a semi-god (he was prior to that a saint, whose name you could not pronounce in vain) among the majority of Shiites in Lebanon.He also said that it was his people who suffered most while others were comfortable in their offices theorizing. Thank you Israel for transforming this ignoramus ideologue, whose philosophy of life and death comes from 1400 year old book and who is educating his people accordingly, into a victorious and arrogant ignoramus ideologue.Thanks to Israel, Lebanon has its mini Khomeini and the Islamic Republic of Lebanon is around the corner.Now Israel is depending on the Lebanese government to finish the job, but I hope that Lebanon will not oblige and I hope that Israel will end up with
