Just how refreshing is it to hear some honest and straight forward talk from someone in the political realm. Just amazing that more don’t try this type of talk. I don’t know Bolton personally but certainly would love to spend time around him to hear some of what he has to say… Thanks to Atlas Shrugs for her close watch on such issues including Bolton in the UN.
Reporter: I have two questions. Mr. Ambassador, would you ask Israel to withdraw from Shebaa Farms first? And second, would you invite here Hassan Nasrallah to go to come and discuss directly with him the issues of prisoners?
Ambassador Bolton: I have zero desire to discuss any issues with leaders of a terrorist group. And in terms of what we do on Shebaa Farms, that’s one of the reasons we asked the Secretary General for proposals. The Security Council, all five permanent members, concluded that Israel had fully withdrawn from Lebanese territory some years back and that’s a clear decision by the Council. If there’s going to be a change in the condition of Shebaa Farms, that’s for Syria and Lebanon to decide.
The reference was to a man Aljazeera.com describes this way… “Nasrallah is considered one of the most powerful and charismatic figures in the Middle East. He is a leader who endlessly fights for the rights of the Arabs and the Muslims.”
In 1978, he completed the first stage of his studies successfully inside Hawza (Islamic Seminary), but his studies were interrupted when he was forced to leave by the Iraqi authorities. He then returned to Lebanon, where he studied at the school of Amal’s leader Sheikh Abbas al-Musawi.
A few years later, Amal elected Nasrallah as its political delegate in Bikaa, making him a member of the central political offices.
After the Israeli invasion in 1982, Nasrallah dedicated himself to the anti-Israeli resistance and joined Hezbollah which mainly aims at resisting the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon in the Bekaa Valley.
Despite his commitment to Hezbollah, Nasrallah was determined to resume his religious education to become a religious jurisprudent. In 1989, he moved to the sacred Iranian city of Qum to continue his studies.
One man’s terrorist is a another’s hero? Or is that other violent cultures tend to subscribe to terrorists as heros? Yeah… the second one. But you might have already known that.
