هيل: النظام السوري يزعزع استقرار لبنان وحزب الله يساهم بنمو الإرهاب

If we're using that logic, then why did Al Qaeda fight the American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan? Does that mean the US was also a magnet for the Al Qaeda terrorists too?

Yes karim_m2 in my humble opinion some of the US policies were a magnet to al Qaeda like in Iraq but they learned from it and are fighting it at all fronts. It is best for Lebanon to steer clear from such low life. Getting involved in Syria is a costly mistake for all that are involved. Frankly, The Lebanese people cannot afford such a mistake.

You hit the nail on it's head - it's as simple as that

Mr Hale, you have been supporting those same groups in Afghanistan against Russians. Now it is your allies KSA and Qatar doing the dirty work. You are just watching because u wanted to weaken Assad for the time beeing till you reach a deal with Iran in case you had to go to war with it so that Syria cannot intervene because it would be already struck by domestic issues + would not be able to send lots of weapons to Hezbollah from Iran to fight the zionists. This is the american scheme. But there is a clear separation of KSA and USA these days cause of the chemical weapons situation and backstabbing of Saudis against USA. Now the US is negotiating with Iran and as soon as they reach a final and concrete deal you will see how Bachar will stay because he is the sole guaranty of Israel's security against extremism.

Directly effected as in their arms route will stop? When is your blind mind and eye sees Lebanon as a state not run by a militia. That's the cancer we need to kill so that the body can survive.
