Iran gives civil war warning to Lebanon opposition
2005-04-25
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami warned Sunday Lebanon was susceptible to another civil war and said instability in Syria could lead to chaos in Lebanon.
It's almost like he can see the future...
During a meeting with visiting leading Lebanese opposition member Walid Jumblatt, Khatami said Lebanon was "vulnerable" and risked the return of civil war, the ISNA news agency reported. "The possibility exists of an aggravation of divisions which could transform into a civil war," Khatami was quoted as telling Jumblatt, a leading figure in the campaign to end Syria's military and political dominance of the country. Jumblatt traveled to Iran in a surprise visit Saturday. Iran is a key backer of the Lebanese resistance group Hizbullah and Syria's closest ally in the region. Tehran has been vigorously opposing international pressure on Damascus and the pressure to disarm Hizbullah in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1559.

#2  And that lack to see beyond themselves will be their downfall. It will take one hell of a cluebat to get the message across, though. The MMs are on a roll, and so far they have kept the internal opposition neutralized...so far.....

#1  Note, Black Hats:
civil war - n : a war between factions in the same country

It's not a civil war if you or your Syrian proxies are one of the factions involved. That is something else, entirely.

It's funny, the MM's seem to have no clue, whatsoever, that they are reaching far, far, beyond their grasp on every front. Infatuated with themselves, they are, yes.
