This is the same insane optimism that infects the ex-patriot Iranian and Iraqi community with delusional hopes of coming back to power. There is no choice but to err on the side of caution when it comes to Israel's enemies and the weapons and training their petrodollars can buy.

honor... no morales... no self respect let him shut the f*** up !

I just want to explain to anyone that has read this article that whatever this guy says he has no credibility and is only looking to regain his mantle as the head Lebanese traitor instead of living in exile in Israel. Of all the problems and disagreements Lebanon has at least all sides can agree on one thing...Lahad is dispicable, so dont buy into this article too much.

Here's how: email, phone, mail, blog post, asking Israel, US, UK, France, Italy, and/or Canada to: Drop 12 small GPS guided bombs 30 metres from Assad’s bedroom, on his palace grounds. Give him 24 hrs notice before hand. Then drop the 12 bombs, 2 minutes apart, all in exactly the same grassy spot. No injuries, just a very deep hole, spectacularly drilled. Then give Assad 24 hrs to be in Tunisia, where he can live the rest of his life. Something similar worked for Khadaffy (because psychopaths fear only for themselves). Ask big blogs to help. No secrecy needed: publish the date in advance, vote on it in the Knesset, or wherever.

who left her home (for rich life) into the arms of bad guys. when the honor gets broken NO WAY TO BACK. The people of lebanon FAILED in the last war. I had no respect for them after seen their stand. When the honor or the faith gets broken, its hard to repair it again. Its about people stand. Nation stand. Honorable Stand. They dont even deserve freedom. They dont stand as one. one for all, all for one. SO, IF THEY GO LIKE THAT, THERE WILL BE MANY BAD GUYS TO GIVE THEM WARM HUG. the rest of these are politics. who killed who who is who who wants what...... WAKE UP THE LADY. STOP STAYING IN THE ARMS OF BAD GUYS. start a new life.

Ba3dak 3ayish?

gang.While hisbullah may not be stupid.The regime in the knesset is.Not to mention cowardly and with a ghetto-mentality.

You abandone your country and allow it to be controlled by remote control by Iran and Syria. WIth people like you, I am not surprised Lebanon will fall. People with no honour and no national pride - of course they can't defend their country, and of course they are willing to sell it out. This man LOVES his country. You, on the other hand, care only for hating Jews.

As always, you are pretty clueless and naïve. You continue to call everyone traitors. Have you looked at yourself lately? blame everyone else for your Iranian and Syrian master’s messes which includes Hariri's murder. The Iranians are traitors because they persecute their Jewish, Christian, women, and other minority groups. The Hezbollah are traitors because they murdered the Lebanese minister last week and they kill hundreds in an attempt to silence opposition and for the hundreds of Lebanese children who are starving today in the streets, because your Hezbollah has been stealing the Arab reconstruction and food money to fill their Swiss bank accounts like Arafat and Hamas did. Quit hiding on your knees under your Iranian master’s skirt and be a real man for a change and tell the truth. Or, are you too scared to do so because of all the blood money you have received from your Iranian and Syrian master? You are a traitor!

As always, you continue to impress the world with your stupidity and Hezbollah ignorance. You continue to call everyone traitors. Have you looked at yourself lately?

#10 #11 It is obvious to the most stupid of people who is a traitor by where they are HIDING.

Lahed is right, everything he said in his interview is bang on, I lived most of my life in lebanon, and I totatly agree with him, and for the cowards who are attacking Lahed for speaking the truth, your turn is coming, Lebanon will be democratic in the long run, and even if the syrians kill more of us, we will previal...but wait i cant say anything about Hizballah, cause i might get assisnated...hahah, syria and hizballah your end is coming, and Lebanon will be free and we will live in peace with Israel

fadi you don't deserve to be called lebanese...so pack your things and take your black heart and go to your ayatollah in tehran.....

I think that you don't know who is lahed...I understand when u say that u hate hezbollah..but I don't understand how a lebanese one defend lahd...he fight the lebaneses with israel..and killed many of them... and my letter to lahed...come here we are waiting for u...I think that when you come to lebanon ;nasrallah will use his armies for the first time on a lebanese..

Lahad is in France.

Shame on Barak. For Shame. He abandoned a Christian ally (the South Lebanese Army) to the tender mercies of the Muslim terrorist murderers; the murderers of innocent women and children. Hezbollah, these are savages. Shame on former prime minister Barak. You are a disgrace to Israel.

Such a traitor like you must come back home yo bring you to justice. Even when you dead, the soil will suffer from you

I was a paratrooper who served in Lebanon. I can assure everyone that this man is understating the resources of Hizbollah. Lahad’s units were completely infiltrated by Hizbollah operatives. We could not and did not trust his men. It was his men who betrayed chief of IDF intelligence in Lebanon at that time, Brig general Gerstien, to Hizbollah. Unfortunately, that very bright commander was assassinated. I can assure everyone that Hizbollah had more than machine guns (as this man indicates). According to this man Hizbollah is just a pussy cat that we should not worry about. If that were the case, then why would the IDF need this clown to help out? Israel should keep her guard up. Hizbollah is a very capable enemy.

fadi, seems like you don't get much of a chance to bark in your own media, so you chose the Israeli, pardon - the Zionist media to spread your nonsense. Good Job, augh augh on.

Lahad you are a true Lebanese and you love your country.

and anyone else here accussing Lahd of being a traitor, you are the traitors that try to force your will on Lebanon, even though you are not the majority. Israel would love peace with the Lebanese people. It's great to see some of the educated and smart Lebonesehere on the talkbacks that truely understand what is going on.

Mr. Lahad, thank you for your fight for freedom for Lebanon and the Free World's people! You are a hero. Pierre Gemayel, 34, Christian Lebanese government minister was shot to death by assassins after leaving a church November 21, 2006. In 1970, "Palestinians" kidnapped Pierre's uncle, Bashir Gemayel from Dekwaneh to the Tal el-Zaater camp and released him after 8 hours. In 1974, Bashir founded the core of the Lebanese Forces, formed by university students in response to kidnappings and attacks on citizens by "Palestinians". In 1978, the Syrian army arrested Bashir in Sassine square and held him for a short period. Bashir Gemayel was assassinated in September 1982, weeks after he was elected Lebanon's president. Bashir's little daughter, Maya, was murdered in a car bombing in 1980. G-D protect Mr. Lahad, the Gemayel family and all in Lebanon who yearn for freedom. Long Live Free Lebanon! http://www.free-lebanon.com/ See photo gallery

Mr Lahad was simply an agent for Isreal. Just read #20

Isa 19:23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. Isa 19:24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Isa 19:25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. ....THEN WILL BE PEACE , AMEN

Lahad wa smart enuff to simply be allied with Israel. Just read #29! Just depends how you look at things. Rula looks with hate.

Khayyeh Eli, are you really Lebanese? Please give us your definition of what it means to be a true Lebanese.
