Cassese Says Indictment Decisive Moment for Lebanon

Yes, it is a decisive moment. The whole World will watch your new project get shattered as was your project of the New Middle-East.

March 14: Phase to Topple Miqati’s Government Has Begun

Good. Now all that March14 needs is some stamina.

Safadi: Hariri’s Remarks of Incitement Pose Security Threat to Me and Miqati

When someone has all his life inherited positions on a golden platter, including the position of a Prime Minister, he will end up thinking that no one else is entitled to it and will do anything to get it back. Not in 300 years Saad, because you don't have one friend left in your own sect, let alone the Shia and Christians.

Miqati Stresses Lebanon Right to Defend Borders Against Any Violation

“We asked during the (tenure of the) cabinet of Saad Hariri for such meetings more than seven times but no one met our request.”

Sure, because the previous government was busy accomodating the West in finding ways to remove Hizbullah's weapons.

Miqati Stresses Lebanon Right to Defend Borders Against Any Violation

@expat: The resistance and its weapons are necessary beyond the liberation. They are necessary to deter another invasion. They provide a balance of power that guarantees Israel will not invade or attack again. Today Israel will think 100 times before harming Lebanon, because it cannot afford to have its citizens sleep in shelters and its economy stop for weeks, not to mention the human casualties.

This said, even if I agreed with you that the HA weapons must be removed, why do Israel a favor and do it without getting something in return from Israel and/or its allies, such as a peace treaty on Lebanese terms. Why do you and others have this "surrender" attitude?

India Probes 'Terror' Blasts that Kill 21 in Mumbai

The CIA planted these bombs to stir the anger of India towards Pakistan again. In the past India has accused Pakistan or supporting terror and has threatened to take action against Pakistan. As we all read, the relation between the US and Pakistan has badly deteriorated in the last few weeks, resulting in the cancellation of a $800M in military aid to Pakistan a couple of days ago. This deterioration was mainly due to Pakistan telling the US "enough is enough" and reducing Intelligence cooperation since the killing of Bin Laden and repeated violations of Pakistans sovereignty by US drones. By creating high tension with India, the US will force Pakistan to again look to the US for protection.

Released Estonians Tell Judge of Abductors Affiliation, Ideology

They need to go back to cycling quickly. It looks like they gained some weight in their bellies.

Charbel Confirms Arrest of Nine Suspects Involved in Estonian Abduction

My little finger tells me that as part of the deal the 9 Lebanese will also be released, but a little later when everyone forgets about this story.

Syrian Forces Kill Two Protesters in Deir al-Zour

I know it is from Al-Manar, but anyone with a minimum objectivity should read this article, if only as an exercise in critical thinking.
