Lebanon’s Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, who is now fighting for a parliamentary seat in the city of Sidon, says, if elected, he intends to press for withdrawal of Israel from Lebanese and Palestinian territories.










Seniora is talking sense. Now we should see him walking the walk. He has pointedly identified both the main enemy of Lebanon, and its main friend. The Lebanese should listen to him. So should Barack Obama, if the US wants to be friends with Lebanon. This is a peaceful country that desires nothing but respect for its sovereignty and good and friendly relations with its neighbors. To the credit of Russia, these simple facts are understood very well and supported. The results of the forthcoming parliamentary elections should put an end to the extreme polarization, instigated and encouraged by Israel and some western powers, and give the Lebanese people the peace and tranquility they deserve.
