Lebanese Government in Grave Danger of a Coup D’etat

The World Council for the Cedars Revolution (WCCR) warns of a serious growing concern about the consistent outbursts by the Iranian, Syrian and Hezbollah alliance regarding the state and stability of the present government of Lebanon.

 

This tyrannical alliance which has been and continues to be one of destruction and devastation to the lives of the innocent people of Lebanon, having lost the 34 day war to the superior military capabilities of Israel, is now looking inwards to destabilize the government of Lebanon and inflict further fear and damage to the lives of the Lebanese population.

 

This ruthless alliance which has vowed not to submit to the full implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1559, continues to disregard the territorial integrity of Lebanon and smuggle arms to their terrorist militias including Hezbollah, the armed Palestinians and others, without regard to any consequences by the UNSC. It is the same brutal alliance which is demonstrating a relentless desire for more destruction by its inexcusable confrontation to UNSCR 1701, by its continuation of supplying rockets to the terrorists, which has enabled Hassan Nasrallah to claim that instead of surrendering his arsenal, he now has a stockpile of 20,000 rockets available to launch against Israel.

 

Given his inability to win a war against Israel, will Hassan Nasrallah be tempted that, with the support of his Christian allies, to turn his weapons onto the rest of the population in order to terrorize them and establish a dictatorship in the mould of the Afghani Taliban, under his supreme reign? For it was he who said that he will never surrender his arms to this government, perhaps it was more than just a passing comment. Perhaps the buildup of arms and the comment were more in preparation to support the agenda of the Syrian President Bashar Assad who recently claimed that the political stability of Lebanon was in his hands; and then subsequently intimated that the political environment in Lebanon was reminiscent of 1975 when the Syrian forces invaded Lebanon and remained in occupation for approximately 30 years. He no doubt would love to re-occupy Lebanon again. 

 

Will this bloodthirsty alliance create another civil war in Lebanon in order that it might achieve its ultimate objective of an Islamic dictatorship across the Middle East, isolating Israel for what they might perceive to be the final onslaught and annihilation of the Jewish State.

 

The United Nations Security Council, strongly supported by Washington and Paris have been exhausting every possible measure of energy and effort to ensure the full development of democracy in the Middle East. They see in Lebanon a perfect opportunity to cement the democratic process and using that a platform and example, move forward to other Middle East nations in urgent need of democratization. Once again, the questions which beg to be asked are, are they fully aware of the true motivations and plans of this ferocious alliance of evil? Will they be fully prepared to avoid another civil war in Lebanon? Will they defend the process of democracy and its development in the Middle East with all their capabilities? Or are we perhaps seeing the production of another theatrical performance reminiscent of 1982 in Lebanon?
