Is it just me- or is it Nasrallah?
During the 34-day war in southern Lebanon, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for a new era of democracy and peace in the region, "a new Middle East."
But Hezbollah, backed by Syria and Iran, said the U.S. vision aimed at reinforcing Israel.
"There is no new Middle East," Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah told a mass rally in the southern town of Bint Jbeil, one of the towns hardest hit by the war. "It's gone with the wind."
Nasrallah did not personally attend the rally to mark the first anniversary of the war which Hezbollah calls "a divine victory. His speech was relayed to the crowd on a giant screen set up in the main square of Bint Jbeil.
Nasrallah said the guerrilla group would never be at peace with Israel.
"We will not wait for anyone to defend us. We will defend ourselves and our country," he said. "We possess and we will continue to possess rockets that can hit any area in occupied Palestine if Israel attacks Lebanon," he added.
"It is impossible to live with a back-stabbing enemy on our border, who has been assaulting us ever since it was born." (emphasis added).
Our country? Our border? This is so wrong in so many dimensions it's hard to know where to start! The irony is humungous! Nasblablah- realize this. You are the ones occupying Lebanese land. YOU ARE!

It reminds me of the old Soviet Union:
"What's mine is mine. What's yours in negotiable."
