Mr. Bush … What did you do in Middle East?

US President George W. Bush should ask himself a main question during his tour in the region: What did he do in the Middle East? We hope that he would rather avoid for a little his preaching language which is used by preachers when they go to Africa's unknown areas and think themselves God's prophets who will achieve justice and equality on earth.

He uses this language in politics, and regardless of his politics results which he applied in the region starting from dealing with the Palestinian cause, passing on the Iraq's invasion and its consequences, neglecting the Lebanese right for having a stable society and the Syrian's rights to return the occupied Golan, he always repeats his special sentences concerning spreading democracy and political reform in the region without a real meaning for at least to get rid of double measures that the US policy uses when dealing with Israel and Palestine.

Stressing his partiality, President Bush mixed between the US and Israeli histories in a short sentence, as he said: The Americans and Israelis have to be proud of their history, and the best way to honor our founders is to continue what they began.

Mr. Bush came to celebrate Israel's establishment and he didn't care with the Palestinian State's establishment, and so he won't attend the celebration of establishing the Palestinian State.

Mr. Bush, the Arab nations hope to live in peace and security as the US nation, and the Arab nations are ready with peace initiative, all what we want is to press a little on the Israeli leaders and persuade them to achieve peace for the Palestinians who suffered, and still are, since establishing the Israeli state.

Miscalculations in Lebanon

Hizbollah acquired during resistance years against Israeli occupation a great rank for many people, and his leader Hassan Nasrallah was admired till he became the most popular character in the Arab world.

The most important reasons for admiring the party and his leader is not only their enmity to Israel and their courage in resisting occupation, but also because he was greatly committed to leave the Lebanese inside affairs and he was only concerned with facing the enemy.

But what happened during the last days was an obvious change in their road and principles which will not benefit either the party or the country on the far range.

The reason for this is that the entering of Hizbollah in Beirut's streets and showing its force in this way will open the way before the foreign interference which will internationalize the Lebanese problems after trying to solve them between the Arabs only.

Besides, the public support for Hizboallah which they were relying on it will be eaten away. This support was one of the main reasons for withstanding before the Israeli enemy, so Hizbollah needs to recalculate their considerations as soon as possible, to re-correct this error and to return to their previous policy.

Facts

The Arab League delegation started its talks yesterday in Beirut for reaching a national Lebanese agreement to end the current crisis and pave the way before a comprehensive political compromise in Lebanon. Although the delegation is formed of different Arab countries which acquired general agreement, yet a number of the opposition leaders received the delegation arrival by a fierce press campaign against the Arab League.

In return, the partisan leaders praised the Arab League's stance, confirming that the Arab initiative represents the only available exit to compromise the crisis and ending the confrontation state and the political paralysis in Lebanon.

I think that the first starting point in compromising the Lebanese crisis lies in putting aside any non-Arab role in solving this crisis, as the Saudi Prime Minister Saud Al-Faysal was so clear and direct in his talk about this case.

Iran announced its support for Hizbollah's coup d'etat in Lebanon, and this Iranian stance will affect its relations with the Arab countries.

I think also that Al-Faysal's words represent a clear warning message which we hope that the concerned parties receive it and deal with it seriously.

In my opinion, the Lebanese parties have not the desire to repeat their experience of the civil war again, but it seems that the regional calculations of non-Arab parties push Lebanese parties to put the country on the edge of the civil war as a message to international and Arab parties including that this non-Arab party is able to burn more than Arab region.

For all these reasons, we hope for the Arab League mission which started in Lebanon yesterday to succeed.
