Ghalioun Says Hizbullah, Iran Risking Future Ties with Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The leader of the opposition Syrian National Council, Burhan Ghalioun, has warned that Hizbullah and Iran are risking their future relations with Syria by supporting President Bashar Assad.
In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Ghalioun said: "The Syrian people stood completely by Hizbullah once. But today, they are surprised that Hizbullah did not return the favor and support the Syrian people’s struggle for freedom."
Tehran is "participating in suppressing the Syrian people" by backing Assad in the crackdown against protestors, he said.
"I hope that Iranians realize the importance of not compromising the Syrian-Iranian relationship by defending a regime whose own people clearly reject it and has become a regime of torture to its own people," Ghalioun said.
Tehran must understand "that this is the last chance to avoid an unwanted fate to the Syrian-Iranian relationship," he told CNN.
Ghalioun also warned that the crackdown could lead to international military intervention.
He said international humanitarian intervention may be needed to protect Syrians from the ongoing clampdown "even if we have to use some force."
"The topic of foreign military intervention is a dangerous and critical topic and should be taken seriously," Ghalioun said.
"But unfortunately, this regime is pushing people to seek foreign military intervention. Some are demanding foreign military intervention without knowing the consequences,” he added.

Calls to reason to people who have their own agenda of spreading their ideologies through controlling other countries like hitler did will not succeed.

@sweating: " only have to blame ourselves for that. now that syria's out, the region should focus on
protecting its multicultural social fabric and not empowering islamists/al qaeda fundies."
so tell us why you are supporting the M8 gang who thanked syria for all the horrors they did? don t you blame them?
not empowering islamists: so why do you still support hezbollah an islamist party calling itself islamic resistance and not lebanese resistance?
(by the way: aoun told that the day syria would leave lebanon they would infiltrate it with islamic terrorists organisations - fateh el islam for example! - to keep chaos in the country: was what he said false ?)
full of contradictions you are for sure!

@sweating : then keep on dreaming, only the one that doesn t want to see is blind...
"not an islamist one because it doesnt threaten the country with sharia law"= really? it threatens the country with arms, pledge allegiance to the islamic revolution but never to the lebanese state!
" and it didnt cut the throat of lebanese soldiers in nahr al bared", = no but killed us and french soldiers with a car bomb
"hezbollah works with the lebanese army" no it has infiltrated the army and works with it when it is in their interest!!
"so plz be more informed before equating hezbollah with al qaeda" = it is the same! same methods same goal make lebanon the puppet of a iran!
"it can conquer lebanon easily yet it hasnt" it is not in their interst now.. a weak lebanon under their arm blackmail serves them best to obey iran. and they know what they would trigger if they took lebanon by force!

"you either trust that they're lebanese or brand them as terrorists like the US wants you to."
how can you think one second they are lebanese? ... they have pledge allegiance to iran and not to the lebanese flag! to your knowledge pledging alleigaince means to obey no matter what....
so a party taking orders from a foreign country we call that treason....
oh and aoun also branded them as terrorists remember? just a few months before he came back to lebanon! so he was american? he even asked the usa to do something against them... so i believe that aoun also wanted me to think that way no?
in any case your general lied!he was a traitor back then no? whether now or before, it s funny how you respect a liar and a traitor!!!
you said he is a general and knows what he is talking about in that field...
oh! your general also said that there was NO shame in asking the help of the americans.... every body does it why not lebanon he said!!
see your contradictions? still going on

you want to know why the hezb didn t take the country by force yet? because they pull the strings undercover... they let others work for them so on the international scene nobody can say a thing!
a weak lebanon s their interest just like israel funny no?
a weak lebanon allows them to do whatever they want, nobody can stop them as you said they are stronger than the army so why take the risk of taking lebanon by force when like now they have lebanon at their mercy!
see what happens when someone wants to go against them? they either kill him or take the streets as a threat! (may 2007 for example!)
want it or not the best collaborator for israel is the hezbollah!
they keep lebanon weak, preventing it to develop economically so that israel can stay stronger and attract foreign investors...
israel is the only pretext for the hezb to keep their arms, if they gave it to the army as patriots would, they would no longer exist politically! they don t care about lebanon....

@ sweating baby : aoun said that there is no shame in asking for the help of the americans the 24th nov 2003 in the magazine... not in the 80s as you try to say...
your disinformation doesn t work, and the rest i quoted he said it at the us senate to defend the syrian accountability act.. so cut your crap little boy....
