Why the World Should Worry About Lebanon…
Published under Iran, Lebanon, Middle East, Syria May 24, 2008Barry Rubin writes a scary article about the implications of the Doha Accords, and the capitulation on Lebanon’s future made on May 21st to Hezbollah, and by extension to Iran and Syria. The capitulation came not only from the Sunni Arab world but also from France, which Rubin notes, similarly ceded Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany. Like Lebanon now, the Czechs had hoped to rely on France’s help. Another culprit is the UN, which blessed this agreement even though it contradicts prior UN resolutions requiring Hezbollah to disarm. Many more parallels to appeasement of Hitler and Winston Churchill’s observations at the time are stark. I hope Rubin is wrong about the situation, but I am afraid (as indicated earlier) that the writing is on the wall.
