“This is very much similar to what is happening in Sudan, in
Palestine, in Iraq, in Afghanistan and Somalia, [where] the United
States is basically instigating and funding civil wars,” says
professor As’ad AbuKhalil (Cittadino Libanese, Docente di Politica
Medio-Orientale a Berkeley.   Ha il blog 
angryarab.blogspot.com
).
AMY GOODMAN: Can you explain what’s happening in Lebanon right now?
AS’AD ABUKHALIL: Well, yes. I think that people may remember, back in
the 1980s, the United States government, for two years in the
administration of Ronald Reagan, deployed troops from ’82 to ’84. And
there was a civil war, and the United States was supporting the
rightwing militias of Israel in Lebanon, and they used the discourse
of supporting the central government of Lebanon.
Something similar is taking place right now in Lebanon, and this is
very much similar to what’s happening in Sudan, in Palestine, in Iraq,
in Afghanistan and Somalia. The United States is basically
instigating, funding and arming civil wars in all those places. We
hear a lot about this inability of the international community to
tolerate armed militias. Of course, Hezbollah is an armed militia, but
so are the pro-militias of the government. There’s a Los Angeles Times
article today detailing the efforts by the United States and allies to
create militias throughout the country. And the Washington Post
indicated that this government of the United States spent $1.4 billion
to prop up the administration of Siniora in Lebanon.
And basically, what happened in Lebanon in the last few days is a
partial coup d’etat that was in response to a full coup d’etat that
was engineered by the United States and Saudi Arabia and Israel from
behind the scene back in 2005, capitalizing on the assassination of
Rafik Hariri.
And things have gotten to this point because America basically is
responsible, more than their clients in Lebanon. I mean, there were
ideas of dialogue in Lebanon, and things were moving in that
direction, and then, suddenly, lo and behold, the Assistant Secretary
of State of the United States for the Near East, David Welch, shows up
in Lebanon, and he basically wanted to stiffen the resolve of the
clients and to basically prevent the possibility of dialogue. And
then, Walid Jumblatt, one of the clients of the United States and
Saudi Arabia and Lebanon today, escalated by deciding on taking the
issue of disarming Hezbollah, which is supported at least by half of
the Lebanese, and Lebanese parties, including clients of the United
States, agreed that the issues of disarming Hezbollah should be left
for internal dialogue of the Lebanese themselves.
But it seems the Bush administration, while it’s sailing into the
sunset, wanted to achieve a victory that has long eluded it in Iraq
and elsewhere. They were getting too excited about Lebanese affairs in
the Washington Post, who were celebrating the so-called Cedar
Revolution. Well, they tried to push them further, and look what
happened. This is something that experts have warned the United
Nations about. If you push things to that point, the other side is
going to lash out, and they did lash out, even if one, like me, does
not like the scenes of these militias and armed thugs running into the
streets of Beirut and so on. But basically, we have to say that this
is the doing of US foreign policy, and this is the true face of the
Bush Doctrine in the Middle East.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk overall about the United States—what you
feel the US role should be right now?
AS’AD ABUKHALIL: Well, I mean, just to get out, just to not be as
heavily involved. We have to see that US policy is not only in funding
and arming the militias in the Anbar province in Iraq or places in Iraq
—I mean, Afghanistan, the warlords, or in Lebanon, the various
militias. But we have to say that this level of intense tensions and
conflict and animosity is the product of a deliberate American-Saudi
policy of instigating a Sunni-Shiite conflict, the likes of which
Lebanon has never seen. I mean, even somebody like myself who come
from a split background—my mother is Sunni, and my father is Shiite—I
mean, we’ve never seen anything like this. Saudi media, with the full
cooperation of the United States, have been for three years mobilizing
the Lebanese opposition, because that’s the only thing they have. I
mean, if patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, sectarianism in
Lebanon is the last refuge of scoundrels of the United States and
Israel. They have been for serious propagandizing to splitting Sunnis
from Shiites in order that they create a militia that can stand up to
Hezbollah.
Well, this militia of Hariri’s, as supported by the United States,
trained in Jordan, funded by Saudi Arabia, basically didn’t last. It’s
very much like the Dahlan gangs in Palestine in Gaza. They do not have
a cause. The United States can provide them with weapons and with
money; it cannot provide them with a doctrine or an ideology. And
that’s why, when push comes to shove, they flee. They flee for their
life, just as militias of Israel fled across the border when Israel
attacked and left, humiliatingly, South Lebanon in 2000.
AMY GOODMAN: Professor AbuKhalil, we have thirty seconds. What’s next?
What do you make of Hassan Nasrallah’s comment that this is a new era
in Lebanese politics?
AS’AD ABUKHALIL: Basically, he is saying that they will no more allow
this heavy-handed role by the Saudis in Lebanon, and they want to
change the balance of forces on the ground. Now, that in itself does
not bode well for the future in Lebanon. I fear that Hezbollah may get
too intoxicated with their so-called victories on the streets of
Lebanon, and they may assert a sectarian agenda that is going to
provoke the other side. I worry about a [inaudible] syndrome among the
Sunnis of Lebanon.

 Palestine, in Iraq, in Afghanistan and Somalia,
e non dimentichiamo le catastrofi apparentemente naturali, che
finiscono per avere un ritorno di immagine positvo per i sionisti
