Death knell ringing

Iran was attacked by Mongols about 700 years ago and the result of their attacks was the endless killings, setting the towns and cities on fire, collapsing palaces and houses…..in one word: leaving the entire country devastated in total ruin and rubble.
There are stories told of the horror and the pain of people in those days. One is:
An Iranian man was arrested by a Mongol soldier. The soldier had something to do, so he ordered the man:" Stay here till I come back and behead you!" And the man waited there for his fate……..
I think what Israeils had in mind – and their American backers- was something like that Iranian man's reaction probably because a few days back I read (I don't know where) an IDF officer complaining:" This is not a guerilla group. They have anti-tank missiles. Our tanks are hit and exploded by their Russian and Italian made missiles……". So, what? He expected to face some weak bearded soldiers armed with cocktail molotovs and when actually he faced a persistent strong group he has a right to whine and moan why it was not like what he (they) had imagined? Israelis thought (and still think) that they can dictate their plans over the whole region through merciless killings. Seems they have miscalculated.

Today, before millions of people watching Siniora speaking at the conference of Arab foreign ministers in Beirut, giving report on the barbaric killings of Israelis, he broke in tears more than twice. I'm sure, as his tears sled down on his face, many new soldiers with the deepest feelings of hatred against Israel and America were born in Arab (and may be non-Arab) world. Does it make any good for Israel? I don't think so!

I don't know what will come up of the gathering in Beirut, but what actually has happened in the hearts of millions of Arabs all over the world, is the deepest solidarity with Lebanese. I saw a report on Syrians' reaction on BBC today. Beside the Christian religious march which was changed to a rally in support of Lebanese last, the interesting scene BBC showed was a disco in Damascus where the young boys and girls danced under the flashy lights in a techno tune singing:" May god bless Hassan Nassrallah!"
