General Aoun's Great Sense of Humor

General Aoun has recently given the following advice to Israel: war and aggression don't work.

But he forgot to give that same advice to his ally Hezbollah. And he forgot to use himself that piece of advice during his endless wars in 1989 and 1990.

Note, especially, that wars have benefited Israel over the past 60 years: it acquired more and more land, resources and power. It is now a technological and military superpower. On the other hand, wars have never benefited the Arabs, in particular they did not benefit Aoun himself (the warmonger).

So I am not sure what Israel can make of this piece of advice other than replying to Aoun: "thank you for your great advice. But WE are a superpower today, and YOU were until recently hiding in your exile. Since we do not wish to end up exiled like you were, we urge you to keep your great wisdom to yourself. However, your sense of humor is very much appreciated."

Another Divine Victory

Hamas' bombs did not stop falling on Israel during this tragic war.

I suppose that, according to Hezbollah's dictionary, this is another Divine Victory.
And Hamas outperformed the Hezb in that they are much less trained and equipped (Super Divine Victory).

It doesn't seem hard to beat Israel lately.
As long as you can keep firing katyoushas, you qualify for the Divinity thing.
Allah seems to be beating God.

Of course, never mind the hundreds and thousands of deaths, and the homes, schools and hospitals lost, and the area that's become pretty much economically non-viable. Get that "Divine" title and you'll look cool.

But in addition to throwing Divine Katyoushas, I wish Allah could teach his followers how to do some Divine Politics.

Way of Life

What is Israel doing today?
Scientists and engineers are brainstorming in fancy research centers and labs to design the next tank that cannot be penetrated by a Kornet missile.

What is Hezbollah doing today?
Meeting around a fancy backgammon table to play, drink coffee, and make incessant phone calls to Syria and Iran asking them to call and pray Russia to provide them with the next generation of missiles that can penetrate the latest Israeli innovation.

Oh well, to each his or her way of life.

PS: Notice that Islamic warriors are praying Christian Russia to supply them with weapons. Nature too has its own funny way...

Army Commander

The Lebanese opposition would like to have a say in the choice of the next Lebanese Army commander. They call it "fairness".

But of course, the Lebanese governing party should not have any say in the choice of the next Hezbollah Army commander. "Fairness" again...

Spanish Inquisition

Hezbollah is suggesting to jail Samir Geagea because some Shiite demonstrators clashed with the Lebanese army!

Wasn't it during the Spanish Inquisition when Earthquakes and Volcanoes were blamed on witches and Jews...?

But that was the year 1500!
We told Hezbollah to roll the clock backward by an hour by they rolled it back by a few hundred years!

Tribunals

Nasrallah and Berri want an immediate and decisive Tribunal for the shooting of Shiite demonstrators last Sunday. But they want a very long and prolonged Tribunal for the assassination of Hariri (and they left the government to slow this process down).

Then they give you lessons in fairness and equal participation...
