Jumblatt: Iran, Saudi Arabia should arm Lebanon

This is just another issue in a litany of concerns that surrounds Lebanon. Iran and the likes of Jumblatt involving themselves in the body politic of Lebanon represents nothing short of an attack, all be it a slow malodorous attack, against not just Lebanon and its people but also against Israel, the West and stability.
But we must see this issue in a broader context, that's to say the weakness of Arabian and middle eastern states, there inability to connect and be held to account by there people and the un-yielding focus and long game that Iran Syria and other anti western states are playing in the region.
Until we except that there is a long game being played against the west and its interest in the middle east, until we recognise the fundamental weakness of the middle eastern state we will continue to see symptoms like this that will have a long lasting and profound effect on middle eastern and western history.
