Hariri: Ballot Boxes Best Reply to Nasrallah Remarks on Parliamentary Elections
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri noted on Saturday that the 2013 parliamentary elections will mark a “major turning point” in Lebanon’s history.
On Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s remarks that the March 14 forces will not hold the elections in light of the party’s possession of arms, he replied: “The ballot boxes are the best reply to his statements.”
The former premier made his remarks via Twitter on Saturday morning.
Asked about his opinion on Nasrallah’s speech on Friday, he said: “It’s the same speech, but on a different day.”
Commenting on a tweeter’s remark that the crater caused by the Damascus bombings on Thursday was similar to the crater caused by the attack that killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005, he responded: “If the Syrian regime is so sure of itself, it would allow an international investigation to look into the attack.”
Twin bombings struck the Syrian capital on Thursday morning, killing 55 people and wounding at least 100.
Nasrallah had stated on Friday that “the weapons that can affect the elections are the individual firearms and all parties have such weapons.”
“We call for further dialogue over the issue of elections and we support holding the polls on time,” he added.

I hope you stay in Paris and never come back to Lebanon. There are better and more honest Sunni Politicians than you.

Why do arabs always call for international investigations ie THE WHITE MAN investigations? Im not march8 but when i hear hariri talk like this i feel like puking. Should the white man come and investigate every time there is an incident in the arab world? and if an inveatigation is done, must the white man approve it so it becomes legitimate? Saad hariri has made a mockery of march14, he is always hiding behind the white man and their pre-approved kings and emirs among the arabs. And if someone wants to deny this instead of finding a better leader then good luck with ever reaching the goals of march14. Its better to accept reality and change it after accepting it instead of lying to ourselfs.

Because last time we depended on the Syrian regime to investigate the crime against Harriri they came up with the Abou Addas story. When Governments commit the crime you need to resort to International courts to reach the criminals that are otherwise above the law

Here is my point of view..... maybe because the white man has better record in respecting the lives of their own citizens than Arabs and Iranians do. Maybe because the Arab regimes commit atrocities and assassinations at will with no one and no law to hold them accountable. Maybe because Arab regimes have absolute power and they use religion and killings to control their populations. Maybe because we are so backward and we can learn few things from the white man.

Spare us your BS- we are all aware of the crimes that the West has committed throughout the world (from supporting terrorists; aiding dictatorial regimes, etc...). Of course, someone as naive as you likely thinks that they were justfified in doing so, for they were 'spreading democracy.' So yes, the barbarians of the West (after their failures in Iraq and Afghanistan) will continue to be undermined, whether you or your ilk like it or not!

Typical reply. Except your forgetting that these leaders have all been supported by the white man, many of them were even handpicked by the white man to do the opression of their own people. And even if lets say the white man is so much better than the "niggers" and "sandniggers" whwn it comres to treating their own population, what does that have to do with them inspecting our investigations and our business? Is their record of treating africans, middle easterners, south americans and asians good according to you? Did they not colonialize, rape, murder and opress for ages and still do today towards the non-white in africa, middle east etc? Your explanation is not valid as their track record of opressing us in our own lands is worse than our leaders who are their allies and friends, who get benefits from the white man for doing some of their dirty work for them.

@abdelhakim - All of your diatribe notwithstanding (and some granted are true), the West has the best system of governance as well as social structure worth emulating again all else not withstanding. Name one instance where an Arab court of justice really renderd unbiased politically neutral justice. There is not any. You may dislike the West for their past colonization and that is your prerogative, but also be brave enough to admit that they have since faced, and continue to face, up to their misdeeds. Self reflection and honest self criticism has never been one of the Arabs stron suites.

Lebnanfirst, name one arab country which was not created by the design of western colonialism and design of the white man who installed certain arab clans and families as leaders to be succeeded by their sons, brothers and other male relatives in exchange for obedience to the white man? Name one arab tyrant statesman which was not a puppet of the white man (ie the white establishment, the elite that runs the west)? Name one arab election that took place without the white man plotting its outcome via its dictatorship and via their puppets arab dollars? Cant you see what i am talking about? Im not saying the arab world is good while the white man world is bad. Many still can not see that colonialism NEVER ended in the world (especially in the arab world), it only took another form. Beeing a puppet of the white man while asking the white man to investigate our problems is the problem.

It is by the stupidity of such puppet leaders that such fair courts dont take place, and these leaders are the creation of white colonialism. They created the problem and presented themselves as the solution. Its the same strategy used on all the colonialized. And beside who said that the white mans trial is fair? If they are fair then let them prosecute their tyrant allies and let them prosecute their own who in recent times have comitted millions of crimes against humanity. And let them be fair in their own home courts instead of giving harsher sentences to the afros and "sand niggers". Who is more likely to be given a death sentence in the US? The black man of course. Is this the fair trial we should learn about? Thanks but no thanks. The arabs and the east have plenty of history of fairness and prosperity to learn from instead of idolizing the white man in everything.

i guess abdelhakim that you buy NO products manufactured by the white man as they are a result of oppression. i believe you are so angry that arab countries including lebanon trade goods with the white men. i believe you blame all those lebanese living in the white man s country as they are surely traitors in your eyes. i believe that you don t dress in white man s clothes nor listen to white man s music.
i believe then that you live in the middle ages...

@lebnanfirst- how naive of you to think that the West have stopped engaging in crimes throughout the globe (see Iraq). Lol, another insecure Arab who desperately strives to be 'Western.'

Peace, what a load of BS. Why must people like you always put words and opinions in the mouth which disagrees? No they are not traitors, this has nothing to do with the sucess of the west in manufacturing things (much of which takes place with asian technology FYI). This has to do with the arab leaders and their puppets deliberatly spitting on themselves by telling the world they need the white man to come approve us. But of course you dont get such a thing. Perhaps now you will ask me why i use a fork instead of just eating with my hand?

we live in a global village with allies and enemies. today is not the same as decades ago. you cannot use the horrors of the past to justify your hatred of the west! it is like if you said germans were still nazis!
where is the shame of having western countries as allies? you believe that arabs with their tribal behaviour are better? you believe that a regime like syria or iran is helpful to lebanon more than the US or france or whatever western country??
think a bit further than your nose....

"but the shame is letting them ride on our backs and this is what hariri and co., are doing."
yeah = i suppose relying on religious dictatorships such as iran or terrorist state such as syria is far better! that is what m Hate is doing!

"the biggest religious dictatorship and terrorist state is non other than their own masters (US and KSA)...lol"
poor FT still in denial better have a medical check up or see a shrink...
saudi arabia doesn t finance the biggest militia in lebanon which is more powerful than the state itself but IRAN...
STL was approved by your friends and aoun said syria was responsible forgot that? oh yes alzheimer M8...

"allying with iran and syria is not 'relying' on them (:"
hezb relies on iran for its arms... hezb receives millions from iran... your friends regularly take orders from syria like in the good old days... hezb relies on syria for its arms... hezb pledge ALLEGIANCE to iran (allegiance is obeying not allying in case you don t know ...)
are there lebanese in the us or saudi jails imprisoned for the simple reason they oppose them? no... but your coward aoun let down his former supporters rot in syria, said to their mothers to forget them!... but i guess you forgot that too...
but yes M8 doesn t rely on them...
