The Lebanese people in Tripoli ransacked and torched a Hezbollah office on Sunday after the Iranian-backed terrorist group attempted a coup on the government.
Saudi Arabia lashed out at the Iranian Regime today over the attempted "coup" in Lebanon by the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah.
AFP reported:
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal warned on Tuesday that Iran's relations with the Arab world would be affected if Tehran was supporting what he described as a "coup" in Lebanon.Later Tuesday, Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected the accusations that his country was interfering in Lebanon...
"Iran's relations with all Arab countries -- if not all Islamic (countries) -- would be affected if Iran was supporting the coup that took place in Lebanon," Faisal told reporters.
His comments came after six days of deadly sectarian fighting pitting Shiite opposition groups led by the Iranian- and Syrian-backed Hezbollah against supporters of the Western-backed government.
"The kingdom calls again upon all regional parties to respect Lebanon's soverignty and independence, and to stop meddling in its internal affairs and poking sectarian unrest," he said.
And... Ahmadinejad added that Israel will be swept away soon.
The writing is on the wall, can't anyone read? Hitler wrote a book for pete's sake - have we learned nothing. Iran isn't going to wait for something to happen, they are going to make it happen.

These clashes are following familiar patterns from the time of the Lebanese Civil Wars in the north (early 1980s-1989).]

excerpt:
[In short, what happened in West Beirut was a given. According to a report from the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese paper Al-Akhbar, this coup had been planned well in advance and its mastermind was the recently assassinated Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh. The government may in fact have forced Nasrallah to show his hand at a time of its choosing, not his.]

Lebanon to West: Wake Up Fast!
excerpt:
[For all those in the West who don't like Israel, then at least help the people you pretend to like. Back the Lebanese government with real power and aid, covertly or overtly, those battling the radical forces in Lebanon.
