While Lebanon's "300" Resist Hezbollah, The West Sits On Its Hands

Hezbollah's "Immortal Guards" against the "300″?

Walid Phares reminds us that while we in the West are busy living our daily lives, a beast is busy killing the freedom of a small community on the East Mediterranean: Lebanon. And as of last week, Iran's proxy for taking over the Middle East (my description, not Walid's) - the mighty Hezbollah, armed to the teeth with 30,000 rockets and missiles and aligning thousands of self described "Divine soldiers" have been marching across the capital, terrorizing its population, shutting down media, taking its politicians and the Prime Minister as hostages, and looting at will. As you read this, ""the hordes of Lebanon's "Khomeinist Janjaweeds" have conquered already half of the Middle East's cultural capital, Beirut, Hezbollah has occupied West Beirut and has since sent its storm troops in multiple directions to resume the blitz,"" and the only ones daring and willing to stand in their way are a few hundred Druze fighters in Aley and the Shuf - who have decided to fight on their own: Hezbollah's "Immortal Guards" against the "300″?...

[...] After securing the Muslim side of the city, the "Immortal Guards" -since most of the Hezbollahis believe in martyrdom as a path to eternal after-life, encircled the mostly Druze Mountain from all directions. Closing in from the coast, the south and the Bekaa, thousands of fighters and their heavy artillery were ordered into battle this week end. The massive "Persian" Army is now attempting to take these passes into the Bekaa and from there into the North and the Christian Mountain. In a sense these may become Lebanon's Thermopylae: A vast Hezbollah Iranian-backed Army unleashing its power against few Lebanese Spartans, to dislodge them and open the paths for the rest of the country. Indeed, it looks like the few hundred Druze fighters in Aley and the Shuf - who have decided to fight on their own, may become Lebanon's "300". The vision is chilling. Despite the calls by their leader Walid Jumblat, now hostage to the Pasdaran in Beirut, to desist from resisting, the mountainous peasants decided to fight and resist the onslaught. The balance of power is terribly uneven. The forces of Hassan Nasrallah, hyper armed by "Xerxes" Ahmedinijad, line up thousands of soldiers, Special Forces, missiles and endless containers of ammunition. They have hardened their battle experience through years of fighting against a powerful Israeli Army, Air Force and Navy. Nasrallah is convinced that his Army of Suicide-bombers has defeated the region's nuclear super power in 2006. Hence, a few "hundreds" of Druses won't even stand for a day. Logically, he is correct. The Lebanese Army was tamed by Hezbollah, the Sunnis of Beirut collapsed in few hours, the Christians are intimidated, the U.S and Europe fears Hezbollah's Terror and the Arab regimes are terrified by his myth. Who on Earth will resist the Khomeinist Xerxes? Well so far, Lebanon's 300 have.

[...] This huge force, by Lebanon's standards, was joined by an undetermined number of real Iranian Guards, shipped from Tehran to man sophisticated weapons offered by the Khamanei regime as a gift to topple the democratically elected Government of Fuad Seniora. In addition, from the four corners of the country, Jihadist and ultra radical organizations have joined the fray including: The Nazi-like SSNP, the Amal Movement, the Wi'amWahhab pro-Syrian militia, and many others. And to top it, Damascus was able to neutralize the Lebanese Army which has been equipped recently by the United States. Its Commander, a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic was "convinced" by the Assad regime to open the passages to Beirut and all other regions for the hordes to thrust into their enemies' backyards. Reminding us of the tales of Greek Antiquity, this Xerxes -Khomeinist- Army burst into the capital, whipping out the thin internal security forces and reigning with brutality.

In a sense, Lebanon's "300" are "our" 300 as well; those few Druze are apparently the only people in Lebanon willing to stand up against shia terrorists, Iran, and Syria, and they stand for the right of free people to resist the Islamic wave of terror stoked and funded by the radical Islamists of Iran. As the West sits idly by and allows Lebanon's 300 to fight alone, we are essentially telling Hezbollah and Iran that all our talk about freedom and democracy, and our willingness to defeat radical Islam, is just that - talk. Nothing but empty rhetoric.
