Ok Siniora, let's see if you have the guts to sign a peace deal with Israel.

"I think that Israel learned from the war that violence isn't the way to ensure its wellbeing," Siniora says. Isn't that violence to invade a sovereign state,kill 8 soldiers and kidnapp 2?Does that attitude ensure anyone's wellbeing?Or only lebanese deserve wellbeing and no one else?

You know he won't. Just like that moment when Mr Gillerman said that the Lebanese Foreign Minister would sit by him if he had the guts. Lebanese Army what a joke! About as effective as the Boy Scouts.

Sinioro forgets one thing when mentioning the similarity between Lebanon and Italy: the armies of both countries suck. Italy's record in war is laughable. So is Lebanon army. No wonder the Italian soldiers will be among friends in Lebanon. The Lebanon army will never disarm Hezbollah. In fact, Hezbollah will disarm them.

i seem to agree with #2 but he forgot to mention the 2 lebanese prisinors in isreal jail and shaba farms

HAHAHA! This stupid Siniora PM is full of hot air. He actually thinks he runs stuff over there in Lebanon when in raelity it is Hezbollah who runs it all! He must be living in a day dream world if he is saying that Hezbollah would not pull Lebanon and the Lebanese people into another war!! And as for Italy worrying about your peacekeepers; well I would definitely be worried about your peacekeepers dying and being attacked by the terrorist group Hezbollah. The Arabs lie right through their teeth so, do not trust anything they tell you. The Italians will probably be to scared of the Hezbollah to do anything to anger them since the Italians are babies and never do anything in the world anyway!!! This whole ceasefire is a joke as far as I am concerned and there has been enough talk going on. Talk is not that way to get peace it is the way to assure your destruction!!

The 2 kidnapped soldiers are honest men;the 2 lebanese prisioners are dangerous and evil criminals. Sheeba Farms belong to Israel;they were conquered in a war that Israel didn't provoque and which arabs LOST. In my opinion,Israel should annex this area as soon as possible and don't talk about it never more.

PM: "I don't think Hizbullah is in the same position where it was before the war, and won't be able to repeat what it did." That sounds like Hezbollah was badly beaten after all ! Good job the Lebanese PM admits that himself.

Trust him to disarm Hizbollah, just like Lebanon did between 2000-2006..Who is he trying to fool?

Feels good to hear some positive and constructive words coming from Lebanon. I grew so tired of insults, blames, amnesty international ... it was really annoying me that no one seemed to understand that the current stalemate is an opportunity for peace, and that all of these threaths just didn't help. I can see Siniora understands that Israel reached their goal of minimizing Hezbollah's influence in the Lebanese government and wants to seize the opportunity. I truly hope Israel will live in peace with the Lebanese people from now on. One day... the people will know they have been cheated by Hezbollah all these years. It's to early yet for them to realize it.

Siniora will disarm Hezbollah.

designed for foreign consumption. he has already said in lebanon that they won't disarm hezbollah, only have them 'hide' their weapons.

Same feeling here: This is just another proof of the fact that the terrorists DID NOT WIN THE WAR as claimed by them and their supporters. They have taken a serious blow and Siniora admits to it in his own way. He should not talk about violence, though. Those terrorists hold seats in his governement and it them who provoked a war with Israel. The responsibility for any destruction and lives lost in Lebanon and Israel rests with them and indirectly with Siniora's government for not having disarmed them at it was supposed to be done according to UN Resolution 1559.People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

first of all, stop saying from 2000 to 2006. DO YOU THINK THEY COULD DISARM HA WHEN SYRIA WAS IN LEBANON??? we were afraid of using the word "syria" or "israel" while talking on the phone. We just kicked the syrians out in 2005. And the tide was turning against hizballah too. Trust me ALL of us,except shiites, want PEACE WITH ISRAEL. I don't really like saniora, but he's a rational person. If I were olmert, I'd respond harshly to what HA did, by distroying their HQ for example, and STOP, instead of going on bombing everything and turning your potential friends into ennemies. THEN you would see the pressure on HA by ALL THE LEBANESE to disarm.

Quoting from the above: "I think that Israel learned from the war that violence isn't the way to ensure its wellbeing," he said. This man will not survive the aftermath of this recent conflict. The statement he made is a disgusting insult to Israel. Another disgusting insult. If he had any righteousness in his heart at all he would direct his statement about violence to Hizbollah. But he doesn't because he is afraid of them and he is afraid of the gangsters in Syria and Iran. He is supporting Israel's mortal enemies and will drag Lebanon deeper down into the abyss that Hizbollah has opened in the region. He will stand there with his hands held out for money from the international community who will finance the rebuilding of his country but he is not capable of laying one block of an undivided house. There is no money in Lebanon. Hizbollah got finances for its organization to feed their women and children and used it to launch war against Israel. Now they will get more money and launch more war until they take Lebanon over and become part of greater Syria. Hizbollah could have been one of the greatest political movements in the Arab world if only they had chosen to express their struggle with wealth and society in terms of human rights. Nobody ever stopped them from praying to Mecca. Now Mecca calls for their dissolution and even their damnation. Nasrallah has a great ally in Siniora. Both of them have an ally in the angel of death. Israel knows violence is not the way to ensure its wellbeing and that is why Lebanon has suffered so much violence. This is not a riddle. It is a goddamned tragedy of reason and conscience that was unavoidable because people such as Siniora and Nasrallah will not respect the human rights of Israelis to exist or to live without the threat of violence. We never invited the world to a war. We invited the world at GOD's command to seek community and social justice as equals under GOD. SOME MUSLIMS UNDERSTAND THIS BUT THEY DON'T SUPPORT HIZBOLLAH. My advice to Siniora is seek an embassy with the state of Israel and do not stop for anybody or anything until you get it. Because when you get it your country will begin to see its wars have ended and its people will be free from the threat of violence in their midst. This is an open invitation without condition. Turn your hands over and look at them sweriously before you decide whether or not they are fit to build a house that is not divided by violence.

Hizbollah won't do it again? Is this because of the wishful thinking of Siniora? Or is it because Hizbollah has to rearm? Quite frankly, there is no longer any doubt in the western world that this crying fool is part of the politics of terror, at the very root of the problem. Only the Lebanese Army will be entrusted with disarming hizbollah? The entire Lebanese Army would struggle to take a rattle from a small, aenemic child, unless that child agreed to act like it had submitted, possibly in return for new, better toys? Next time, please understand, war with Hizbollox, is a war with Lebanon, as a sovereign state is responsible for enforcing the laws within its own boundaries, so it is responsible for the actions of its citizens, particularly when those citizens launch unprovoked attacks on the neighbouring state. Once Olmert/Peretz/Peres are removed, and there is finally a chance for responsible government, please remove this fool along with his brain damaged brother, Hasan.

Hizbollah army is the lebanese resistance, and no one will accept to disarm resistance. If hizbollah army will be involved in actions against other lebanese parties or groups, or will use the force oustide lebanon this will be a different story, but as long as they operate from lebanon and defend lebanon they are strond and legit. and don't even think about them without weapons, instead think about them as an example for other groups to follow their path and arm themselves against Israel if they keep trying to occupy lebanon.

big guy, you call yourself lebanese and you agree or accpet on an enemy operation against lebanese people!! what kind of lebanese are you? Syria left lebanon after they killed Harriri, but Israel did't leave lebanon if it wasn't for the lebanese resistance, and don't be mistaken here, the resistance didn't start with Hizbolah, they are the strongest now, that's true, but lots of other people are in the resistance too, just look at the communist party, and SSNP for example, who have as many christians if not more then muslims and you will know that Israel is not an enemy of only one part but for all lebanese, except people like you for sure who think Olmert could bombed Hizbollah headquarters and that's it. there are lots, lots, the majority of lebanese against Israel and with Hizbollah in their action, just for example some example and where it belong, and sorry for talking about religions, but your kind need to be updated: Tayyar: Aoun's party, they are the majority of the christians. with other christian parties such as Marada in the north, and communists, and SSNP who have a large number of members between the Druz too, along with Orslan and other Druz parties. from the Sunna, you can ofcourse count SA'ad party in Saida, Kamal Chatila in Beirut, and of course Ahbach and Islamic brotherhood. and I don't really need to count the other and effective parties, like Alchaab movement, which belong to Najah Wakeim, and many many others who are against Israel and their agression against lebanon. again, I don't see how you accept the some foreign army bomb lebanon and kill lebanese citizens and you are OK with that, how can you call yourself lebanese and accept that?

Didn't Siniorita say just last week that his government *would not* disarm Hizballah?

Please choose another moniker instead of using mine. My views are very different from yours.

listen, HA abducted 2 israeli soldiers and killed 8. you want them NOT TO RESPOND? obviously their response was disproportionate, but even for their own good, i think this response did more harm to them than good. When someone hits you, you hit HIM back, you don't hit people who happen to be living in the same house. HOWEVER, YOU ARE 100% JUSTIFIED TO HIT HIM BACK. anyways, by the way, let me make this clear to you. In lebanon, ONLY, i repeat, ONLY the shiias fought israel after the civil war. There is not 1 christian or 1 sunni who took ARMS aginst israel. go ask HA, they will tell you this. sure, the corrupt leaders talk, after all who can afford being labeled a "traitor", but they NEVER fought. For your info, Saad al hariri wants HA disarmed. that's MOST sunnis. PSP wants HA disarmed. That's most druze. ALL THE CHRISTIANS want HA disarmed. take my words. ALL. not 98%, not 99%, not 99.99%. ALL OF THEM EXCEPT LAHOUD. even aoun wants them disarmed. We used to like aoun. when we voted for him, he was calling for the implementation of 1559 if you remember. What can we do if he turned out to be a traitor and a snake. are we idiots? do we follow our leaders blindly if they are corrupt selfish snakes? HELLNO. you will see in the next elections. some of my friends who were the staunchest aoun supporters despise him now. Aoun will write "statements of understanding" with the devil in exchange for the devil's support for him to become president. face it man, everybody except to shiites want HA disarmed because AFTER 2000 all they will bring to the country is destruction.

I guess I don't have to say anythink about General Aoun and what he thinks about Hizbollah weapons, cause it seems that you know it all by heart, right? but when you say it's 100% of christians want hizbollah to be disarmed, you don't count Aoun and tayyar I guess as a christian, because if you did, it won't be 100%, and we are here now 20 people, and none of us want hizbollah to be disarm, not the way Israel and US want. so, small number of your 100% is not with you. and if you measure things this way, it's gonna turn that Saad al harirri is not all the sunnis, and neither jounblat is all the druz, and for your info, not all the shiiaa are with hizbollah's arms too, take a look at Hassan Alsabaa, who belong to al harriri party, he is Shiaa and he doesn't like hizbollah weapons too. I'm not gonna discuss the next elections in lebanon here, we can talk about it, but I will never be able to convince you that if it happen tomorrow, the Harriri and jounblat/jaajaj, will lost big time, and if you follow politics you will Notice that General Aoun, unlike what you think, has a plan to make an early elections as a part of the solution before the presidential elections. and he shars the view with the communist party about the early elections, and the ones who are refusing it are Harrir and Co. anyway, as I was saying before, if you are a lebanese and you love your country you don't wish part of it, and citizens of it being killed and destroyed. it's only common sense, and you don't find an excuses for the ones who are doing it. cause you know things didn't start with the 2 soldiers, things started long time before that, and what happened last month was only another chapter; and just one small and last word about hizbollah weapons, if they don't have it, don't you think there is a plan to settle all the palastinians in the camps forever?? this thing hizbollah is fighting it, and you as a curious lebanese probably know what was the civil war about? don't you have family and friend who fought and died in order not to make this happen? are we gonna give it now just like that and for free? Now finally, read the following article for a guy I hope you respect, and learn from him when you talk about such issues. and by the way he is part of your 100% against. http://www.annaharonline.com/HTD/KHODOR060819.HTM

Thank you. In Tunis we consider Lebanese a very very special people...We still start our day with Fairouz, enjoy Marcel and certainly support and love the resistance(George 7awi , or Nasrallah no difference). I appreciate your comment here because of people like you "Loubnaan sayabqa Loubnaan al lathi nou7ib" despite the insignificant Haddad/ Lahd's kind.

first to the tunisian. Dude, I know you consider lebanese a very special people. But trust me, the lebanese you KNOW are not the HA-type people, who have more in common with syrians/iranians then their fellow lebanese that you see on TV. Also, It's very easy to swallow all the propaganda you see on aljazeera and call for 'jihad' etc, but this is our country, and we want PEACE. WE COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR "JIHAD". when your house is destroyed in tunis, i don't think you would really care if people in the "arab world" wanted to perform their "jihad" duties in tunis. wanting peace doesn't mean being like Lahd, you brainwashed arab. as for moe, 1st when i say "all" i mean "virtually all", i thought that should be obvious. i know aoun wants early elections, he's right, the majority of christians, including me, used to support him. but he's wrong if he thinks they kept supporting him after all the things he did. what a selfish traitor, he used to call HA terrorists a few years ago, now he is their ally. He used to swear at bashar EVERY DAY 1 year ago, a few weeks ago he said SYRIA HAVE NO LEBANESE PRISONERS FROM HIS PARTY!!!??? those people who fought for his liberation war as he fled to france and who are now in syrian jails for 17 years, he just abandonned them for personal calculations. and then defending lahoud!!? this man just wants to be president, he has no values, no constants, no morals. yes, i repeat, you will see what will happen in the next elections. christians are not like shiias, they do not stick to their leader no matter what he does. they use their heads. as for the palestinians, if we make peace with israel, when the palestinians get their state, they will return to palestine. WHAT'S SO COMPLICATED? DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD FIGHT ISRAEL UNTIL THEY LET THEM BE ISRAELI CITIZENS??? all of you just seem to look for excuses for HA to keep their weapons. syria came up with sheb3a that even HA DON'T WANT TO PROVE IS LEBANESE for simply no reason if you're an idiot, 3 prisonners who were convicted for murder in israel, palestinians, a "strategy of defense" which we experienced... we are all waiting for people like you to grow a brain. hopefully soon.

You talk about peace but hide behind false statements. The only peace that can last is peace based on equality dignity and mutual respect. This is lacing from both sides, but can be worked out if they all try whole heartedly and without deceit.
