'I believe that the first person to warn against the Iranian-Syrian alliance was me, Walid Jumblatt'
MEMRITV: Lebanese Druze Leader Walid Jumblatt Accuses Hizbullah, Iran, and Syria for Lebanon Crisis
..."Today, the Lebanese state has become a kind of Red Cross. If tomorrow a cease-fire is reached - even if the state is represented formally on the issue of the prisoners - the Lebanese state would still be incapable of [fulfilling] all its plans - to spread its sovereignty to South Lebanon and to the refugee camps, and especially with regard to the weapons outside the refugee camps."...
..."A cease-fire between who? [Israel] and the Lebanese state? Will Hizbullah recognize the Lebanese state?"...
..."Will the weapons of Hizbullah be incorporated into the defensive system of the Lebanese army, and I emphasize the word 'defensive?' Or will there be a cease-fire, and then the first article on the agenda will be that we should liberate the prisoners. Then he will say to you: 'We want to liberate the Shab'a Farms, and I need to keep my weapons in order to liberate Shab'a.' Then he will tell you that we should implement Resolution 194 - the return of the refugees to Palestine. In such a case, Lebanon will become an open battlefield for the Syrian and Iranian regimes."...
There's much more. Very interesting. Not all perfect -- he supports a "right of return," and of course he would, since that would be a way to get the Palestinian Arabs out of his country -- but still interesting.

Its good to hear a voice of reason in a sea of insanity. Even if its one lone voice.
