Manhood Extension, Lebanese Style

In what has to be the stupidest example of machismo, prominent Lebanese politicians are announcing they- with their militias (doesn't every fledgling democratic politician have militias at their beck and call?), will join up with Hizbollah if Israel proceeds with a ground invasion.

That's just brilliant.

Let's put this in perspective,The various Lebanese factions are threatening to band together- to fight Israel.

The Lebanese factions didn't band together to fight Hizbollah- the inheritors of Arafat, who began the proverbial rape of Lebanon. They didn't band together to fight the Syrian occupation of that country and they didn't band together to fight the Palestinians, who initiated the civil war.

They didn't band together for years, as Christian women and girls were afraid to go out by themselves. They didn't band together when nurse who worked for a Christian aid agency was murdered.

(See this link. These are the voices of the real Lebanese patriots).

No, they're going to band together to fight the Israelis, who will liberate them from Hizbollah, once and for all.

If the Lebanese are trying to show off the size of their cojones, they are succeeding.

Round up the magnifying glasses.
