Gulfnews Quote

Duraid Al Baik, Foreign Editor:

"The US cannot lead the world anymore.
The Israeli war against Lebanon has destroyed the last vestige of honour that the US could use to justify its hegemony.
(...)
The conclusion from the four-week-old war against Lebanon is that the US would have defended the Lebanese had Syria assaulted them, but Israel can create havoc in the country and destroy the nation with full backing from the US. This morally ill and unjust attitude by a superpower should have no place in the world of the 21st century."

Interesting way of looking at it. If it was Syria obliterating the nation the US would have saved lives. But since it's Israel committing murder, well here, have some more cluster bombs.
