1. Nothing & no one ecan stop them, Thanks Olmet!
malcolm   (10.01.06)
2. Lies..
Lynne   (09.30.06)
there are some political groups inside and outside Lebanon who are working on arising a civil war in Lebanon by making up this nonsense.. Nasrallah had clearly stated that when Sheba'a farms and the prisoners are returned then Hezbollah will disarm.. Hezbollah was started in the first place as a result of the Israeli invasion on Lebanon in 1982.. if they wanted a Shiite Lebanon they would have achieved this a very long time ago.. Lebanon cannot be Shiite, Sunni, Maronite, Catholic or any other sect.. I hope no one would take such crap seriously..
3. Well, well...a State within a State..
ilana   (10.01.06)
That sounds familiar. That is exactly what is happening in Israel. Some group called "pals" want their state within the State of Israel. Won't work. Never did and never will. Let them all go to Jordan or Saudi and see how long their "state" lasts.
4. Hezbullah is unstopable
Sam ,   Atlanta, GA USA   (10.01.06)
with the support of Syria and Iran still going strong. They have a choke-hold on Lebanon. Any country with an army inside it that acts on behalf of other countries is doomed to war and civil unrest. If Lebanon gives its southern territory to this 'party of god' it can say hello to the new Gaza Strip. Qassams, Cross border infiltrations, and maybe even a nice demand for the right of return for millions into northern Lebanon. Save Lebanon - Disarm Hezbullah.
5. Hahaha
Me ,   Lebanon   (10.01.06)
Where do you get these funny stuff? I think Roee has just delcared a shiite state which hizbullah does not seek nor want. Stop this bull sh**t, nobody will beleive you
6. Think peace not war
George Haddad ,   Lebanon   (10.01.06)
Every few years when axes of evils in both Israel and US come to power a war starts. (Regan, Haggs, Begin/Shameer 1982-84), now (Bush, Ramsfield, Olmert); a war errupts. This is something we expect in Lebanon and do not expect them to act humanly. That is our fate as long as Israeli society believes in war as a solution. Now, they count on some popits in Lebanon to act beliveing they can stand against the will of Lebanese to stand up for their rights against an agressinve enemy such as Israel. I am Christian and I tell you that we will not make the same mistake again... We stand with Hizballah as long as our lands are occupied even further than returning Chebaa Farms and the prisonners, we will not support any disarmement until we have a goverment that can defend us.. Counting on UN, US and the west will not help us. To all my fellow Christians, Sunnis and Druze...Your future is with the Lebanese and not with the enemy of civilization Israel and Bush. Arming other factions will not help to disarm Hizballah, it will only make him more determined to fight for his survival and put him more into the Iranian arms. Wake up and think about your neighbour as human so they accept you in the middle east. I am saying this for their eyes, Chiites are majority in Lebanon and have only 25% of power. If we follow your advices, they will reject the current situation and ask for their full rights.
7. Look what we've done
Bechor   (10.01.06)
We've made them far stronger than they ever hoped to become. We've failed miserably. Look what we've done...
8. Primitive anti Hizbullah propaganda
BouSameer ,   Beirut Lebanon   (10.01.06)
As one can read in this article, there are no precise events recorded, no names, etc..not a hint of an argument to show that this is true. A debate about implementing Sharia law in lebanon, or a Shiite state, is closer to a science fiction comedy. Al-Watan is known to be anti-Hizbullah, so not very reliable on these matters. As for the syrians saying that a civil war is underway, it is quite understandable. They have been repeating this same song since the day they were kicked out from Lebanon.
9. First Iran
Shimon ,   Tel Aviv   (10.01.06)
Iran was a western country. El Al flights to tehran. Now look at it. Turkey was a country founded on secularity. Now look at it and its government. Lebanon Paris of Middle East soon to be an Islamic supremecist state. Next France and who knows where else. The world must realise that Islamic supremecist racism and ethnic cleansing is the new nazism!
10. FINALLY!
V. N.Y. ,   USA   (10.01.06)
muslim brotherhood? muslim brothers? what a joke. if they can't kill israelis, they'll surely kill each other. if lebanon can't have peace inside itself, it's too much to ask them to have peace with israel. arabs will never know peace even in their midst. i feel sorry for mr. siniora and mr. hariri. should you decide to disolve hizbullah, you b oth shall end up as hariri's father, unfortunately. moderates have no voice or place in arab society because most of you are 100% disinterested or mentally unable to come to the peace table. so, go ahead, assasinate one another, kill each other, promote another devastating civil war. better in your countries than in israel. imach shmechem!
11. Nu?
Jeff ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (10.01.06)
I thought Hexbollah already was a "state within a state," according to the dominatrix-booted Condi Rice. For sure, Hezbollah has its own foreign policy.
12. 1 Smells like Ethnic cleansing to me...
freedom ,   canada   (10.01.06)
Prove me wrong.
13. That what everyone is afraid of - Mini Iran
Robert ,   Lebanese in Canada   (10.01.06)
There we have it folks - Hezbollah wants to establish a true Islamic state within Lebanon. That is violation of Lebanon's sovereignity and traditions. The UN has to step in and strengthen Lebanese government so that they can fight off these Iranian agents.
14. and some in east lebanon
shia yahoodi ,   baalbeck lebanon   (09.30.06)
there is a relation established between BIBI and some tribes in the baalbeck -hermel area and awaiting bibi taking over the gov. in which he pledged milittary and monetary support for the tribes to toppple hiz. from thie strong hold the problem is they need at least 80 to 120 million$$/month to match hiz. and recruit fighters it wil take them4 weeks to do it uness bibi in gov. he cannot come up with this kind of money so they wait for olmert demise
15.  nobody can beat the shia anymore
teflon moslem ,   kufa iraq   (10.01.06)
the shia worldwide is around 450million they have more shia in india than there is in iran one third of total islam and the largest single sect becuase sunni are divided into 4 large sects each one divided to so many madrassa .so the few militas of druzefacist and christo-sunni will be eleminated in no-time the betting on civil war is a losing cause since the the leaders of the maronites are allied with shia for now lebanon will be a defaacto shia state and the crescent that the king of jordan bable about will be a full moon as for nukes the father of india atom bomb was ashia so is the father of pakistan n-bomb zualficar ali butto and for those who try to stop iran its too late they aready has IT .JUST WAITFOR THE TESTING IN KOREA
16. Without many Maronites there isn't a point to Lebanon.
Adam ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.01.06)
They must be allowed to return.
17. Will Hizbullah state arise
silvio ,   italy   (10.01.06)
Hizbullah has not been disarmed and he has not been eliminated. That's why Lebanon fact has become definitely from Christian Nation to Moslem Nation. This is a trouble in more for Israel and for the World Westerner that has been too indulgent with the violent expansion of the Islam.
18. Bullshit article .. keep on dreaming guys !!!
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.01.06)
19. To the Idiot George Haddad #6
Adam ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.01.06)
Well it's hard to know where to start with a warped and defective brain such as yours. Firstly Shiites are not the majority in Lebanon they are 30-40% that's only because the Maronites (the reason for Lebanon) have been terrorized out. In your diaspora the majority aren't Shiite ie a majority of Lebanese aren't Shiite both in and also in your diaspora. Next the 'Sheba farms' was NEVER a part of nor under the soveriegnty of jurisdiction of the Lebanese Republic EVER. Thirdly you racist Aounist dirtbag YOU have been shelling our civillian population centres for SIX YEARS and we did nothing except fly a few planes in your airspace until recently. You have the gaul to talk to me about make peace not war? You sick, sick man.
20. #8You left out a few like:
Jon ,   Oz   (10.01.06)
Londonistan, darfour Somalia the list goes on.
21. #2 Lynne do you really believe your own crap?!?!
jerome ,   basalt, co   (10.01.06)
22. Israel created Hezbollah
John ,   LondonUK   (10.01.06)
Just as it was America that created Bin Laden, lets not forget that it was Israel's invasion of Lebanon that created Hezbollah. And the recent spectacular defeat of Israel at the hands of Hezbollah has only boosted their popularity in Lebanon and the muslims world. Dont be surprised when there is an Islamic revolution on your northern border. Only way to stop it would be to make peace with Lebanon and Hezbollah and therefore halt the rise Hezbollah. If Israel and US continue to act aggresively then as usual they can only expect defeat. These militants are not going to lay down their weapons. They have vowed to die fighting. They are not scared of you. Israel cant even disarm Hamas and make them submit. Hezbollah is a far more powerful monster challenging Israel.
23. Re #20 it was for #9
Jon ,   Oz   (10.01.06)
24. will hizbulla state arise in Lebanon
oskar   (10.01.06)
in answer to John #22. It is possible but Israel will fight them properly next time. And frankly I cant wait till your local UK Hizbulla/Al Quaida/hammas cells start destroying London> I shall dance on my roof ! The English public deseerves it.
25. John22.Did you read that inGuardian.Amal was there long ago!

Sheikh yer Bu'Tay ,   Dar al-Harb   (10.01.06)
28. #22 only correct about one thing
jerome ,   basalt, co   (10.01.06)
the HIZBULLSHITALLAH are monsters.
29. Neighbors
Me ,   Lebanon   (10.01.06)
Ohhhh, Woudn't you like having them as a neighbor? Don't worry you'll get used to the idea
30. #22 Israel created hezbullah??!!
Richard Lawrence ,   Ireland   (10.01.06)
It amazes me that this goes unchallanged. This is "blame the victim" mentallity! What was going on in Lebanon before Israel invaded? Answer: The only Christian democracy in the middle east was being destroyed by Arafat's Fatah thuggery! It was called a civil war but that is not true. Even the US tried to stop the violence, but when Hezbullah destroyed their barracks and killed over 250 people, the US ran like scalded dogs! Israel invaded to defend the south lebanese christian community and help the South Lebanese Army.
