Aoun: Syrian People are Committing Terrorism, Not the State
2011-08-10
Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
leader MP Michel Aoun
...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
demanded on Tuesday the Syrian people to return to their senses, calling on them "resort to the ballot boxes instead of resorting to murder and massacres" in dealing with its internal affairs.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting: "The terrorism is being committed by the people and not the state or any human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
groups as they are saying."

He added that Syria is being pressured to sever its ties with Iran, Hizbullah, and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and launch negotiations with Syria and not introduce reform.

"I don't think Syria has harmed anyone on the Turkish border or any of the Arab forces," Aoun continued.

"Whoever goes to Syria sees that it is calm, but there are a few problems," he said.

In addition, the FPM leader stated that all of the wars the United States is waging will not result in the establishment of a pro-American government in the Middle East.

On Leb informing the Special Tribunal for Leb that it has failed in detaining suspects in the liquidation of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, he said: "The names of the suspects have been known for a year and of course the suspects have decamped."

#1  The terrorism is being committed by the people

What happened to the ol' "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" meme? Don't tell me the shine is wearing off!
