The most striking similarity is the constant annoying smiles that both men possess. Their comical facial expressions are so conspicuous that they have been given names such as "The smiling puppet'" for Lahoud and "The smiling bomber" for Amrozi. But the similarities are much more sinister than their identical smiles.
For a start, they both have used violence and murder to try to achieve their goals. In a massive car bomb attack in Bali, Amrozi and his cohorts killed 202 people, most of them young Australians and injured more than 300. Dozens of victims were burned beyond recognition or simply blown to pieces by the power of the massive blasts. Emile Lahoud has also been a willing participant in terrorist activities, during his tenure as allotted 'President'; Lebanon has witnessed a rise in terrorist acts. He has done nothing to fight terrorism and in actual fact condones terrorism and supports those who commit it.
Some might argue that Emile Lahoud has not personally been involved in planting bombs or the like therefore he cannot be accused of carrying out acts of terrorism. While it's true that he might not have gone and planted a bomb or he might not have personally attacked a student, the fact of the matter is that he has covered up and in some cases tried to justify these acts therefore this makes him just as guilty as those who committed the crimes.
Emile Lahoud in his capacity as appointed "President" of Lebanon has been responsible for the violent and brutal attacks on all those who oppose Syrian hegemony over Lebanon. He has directly and indirectly been involved in bombings, assassinations, kidnappings and horrific attacks on those who are peacefully seeking the freedom, sovereignty and independence of their country.
Just like Amrozi, Emile Lahoud is a puppet in the hands of others. He will stop at nothing to comply with the wishes of his masters. They are men who show no mercy or remorse to their fellow man. They both have put many innocent people through so much suffering and pain just to further their own selfish aims.
While these two men might be smiling now, history teaches us that justice does prevail. The day will come pretty soon when the smiles of both these evil men will be wiped straight off their face.
