An estimated 45% of citizens of Lebanon are Shiite fundamentalists & support Hezbollah. The current fighting is sure to push those numbers into the majority, as planned.

In Iraq we saw "free & democratic elections" basically translate to Sunni disenfranchisement & a push that elected a Shiite state-sponsored hardline Muslim extremist government just like neighbor Iran. This same trend will continue throughout the Middle East as the U.S. supposedly fights for "freedom" & instead engenders a new, much larger wave of anti-Zionist terrorists.

If one wants to boil all this down & distill it, then the basic substance of it all is that the U.S. is manipulating things to help the Shias gain a great amount of power in the whole mideast region. We are in league with them covertly & have been since Reagan. The push is being made to create a real terrorist enemy, much more substantial than the rag-tag al-Queda. It seems the DOD, the DOE, the military-industrial complex, & corrupt politicians want to be sure to create a scenario by which they can continue to pass bloated budgets that they can siphon & steal from at will. As the world has reached peak oil & the shit is certainly about to hit the fan in the coming years, those that are in power are making a mad grab for as much money as they can get their grubby hands on & if one addresses it properly, the same politicians can always villify the concerned critic by pointing a finger right back at them...you see, it's the "perfect" crime. Back during the cold war, one was a "commie" if they criticized U.S. policy. These days, one is labelled a "terrorist sympathizer" if they spread the truth that could threaten the activities of the thieves.

I actually agree with you about many of the points you made but it's nothing new. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out and the information is out there if you look in the right places. What I'm tired of hearing are all these conspiracy theories (probably true to some extent) about this or that plan the US government and some if not all European countries have up their sleeves when it comes to the middle east and their oil. The fact is that you and I will never know what's really going on behind the curtain and I think you're being pretty arrogant in this discussion by stating that I or others parrot the media's perspective. We are here to exchange ideas and hopefully find some truthful answers, not argue about how much each of us knows.
