HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN: Lebanon: the other side of the story

HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

Lebanon: the other side of the story

Now, watch Hezbullah's view on the conflicts and the root causes of the conflict. This is through an interview with a former US ambassador, Edward Peck (beginning at Minute 18 of the clip). In the clip you can also find out about Edward Peck's opinion about the issue.

In 1985, when I was the Deputy Director of the Reagan White House Task Force on Terrorism, they asked us -- this is a Cabinet Task Force on Terrorism; I was the Deputy Director of the working group -- they asked us to come up with a definition of terrorism that could be used throughout the government. We produced about six, and each and every case, they were rejected, because careful reading would indicate that our own country had been involved in some of those activities.

As you will see, it was the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon which resulted in creation of Hezbullah.
