US officials Sunday toughened security measures for all US-bound airline passengers, warning those traveling from or via 14 “terror linked” nations will undergo mandatory enhanced screening. Lebanon is among this terror list.

I’ve had some friends flying to the US in the past two weeks and they told measures were unbearable and that they practically stripped them on every U.S airport.

Lebanese Politicians have urged US security chief to rethink new travel measures and the Lebanese president is concerned about U.S. airports security measures, but honestly i see those actions as justified and rational and i can’t blame the Americans for them.

I blame us and our government for legalizing Hezbollah and for putting Lebanon on the terror list by defending HA’s actions.

So stop whining and complaining and admit that you are a terrorist and will always be labeled as one as long as Hezbollah is around and you are not doing anything about it.

    darwish how about if u simply refuse and give ur opinion about HA being terrorist

  • 5. Darwish | January 19th, 2010 at 6:17 pm

    prou2blf #4, HA does have aims that are not compatible with a legitimate political party but I have not heard of HA elements commissioning their people to blow up airplanes like al QA3eeda frequently tries to do. We need to be careful how we approach this subject, because whether we like it or not, HA has a lebanese constituency in the country and their representatives are elected by lebanese like you and me. I do not condone the military wing of HA and I am against weapons held outside the boundaries of the state, but this is a thorny issue that needs resolved within the regional context and not by force like N seems to advocate.

  • 10. Chad | January 19th, 2010 at 11:12 pm

    Nobody should be surprised that HA might be planning an attack on the West. Keep in mind that HA is already active in many arab countries including Egypt, Jordan and Iran, as well as foreign countries such as Brazil and France. Today, Iran and HA are under political and economic pressure and it would not surprise me if they decided to send a message to the US by doing something stupid (like blowing up a plane). The sad part is that as Lebanese-Americans we have to endure criticism and humiliation because of something we do not believe in and because HA imposed their ideology on us! We refuse that and the only way to change the world’s opinion is not by whining to the American but by cleaning our house first.

    it is the american soldiers who are in our countries and not vice versa.

    Hizbo and al-qua3ida are one and the same…. They have coordinated every attack possible… From the khobar explosions to 9-11 to the Yemen terrorist acts…. I have even heard bin laden say it with his own lips how he admires hizballah and take them as his referrence in suicide bombings…. Have u ever heard ANY al-qua3ida statement against hizbo?!!!

    ماذا حصل بين الأمنين اللبناني والأميركي في وزارة الخارجية؟

    دار جدال بصوت عال بين أعضاء الأمنين اللبناني والأميركي إذ أصرّ الأميركيون وبينهم عناصر أمن لبنانية تابعة للسفارة الأميركية في بيروت على إدخال أكثر من مسؤول أمني الى مكتب وزير الخارجية والمغتربين الدكتور علي الشامي أثناء فسحة التقاط الصور، إلا أن رئيس جهاز أمن الوزير تصدّى للأمر ، فعلا صراخ الأميركيين مما أحدث جلبة في بهو وزارة الخارجية، وأصرّ الأمن اللبناني على منع دخول أكثر من شخص واحد الى المكتب كما جرت العادة، فتمّ إخراج العنصر الأمني الموجود وإدخال سيدة من الأمن الأميركي عوضاً عنه.

    Les Israeliens ne sont pas des terroristes

    Pour toi la liberation du Sud du Liban est devenue un acte de terrorisme ?

    Je prefere 100 fois etre traite de terroriste par le gouvernement US plutot que de LECHER LE CUL des americains comme tu aimes tant le faire.

    N,
    Pour toi les americains ont le droit de classer le Liban sur la liste des terroristes a cause de la presence du Hezbollah.
    Mais as-tu entendu parler de Blackwater aux etats unis ? C’est un etat dans l’etat. Blackwater est peut etre mieux arme que l’armee americaines, il dispose des meilleures armes, il dispose d’une flotte d’avions de chasse, d’helicopteres de combat, de pres de 20000 hommes et est present dans pres de 9 pays entre autre l’Iraq. Blackwater est un groupe de mercenaires recrutes un peu partout dans le monde. Blackwater sous le titre de combattre le terrorisme ce groupe commet les pires massacres et personne n’est autorise a les arreter.
    Ce groupe opere en dehors de etats unis, commet des meurtres en dehors des etats unis.
    Blackwater travaille uniquement pour l’argent.
    Des hommes politiques sont recrutes au sein de ce groupe.
    Ce groupe opere en toute liberte.
    Pourquoi Blackwater qui est un groupe de mercenaires est legale, meme ils sont des heros et le Hezbollah qui a libere le sud Liban a partir du Liban est considere comme un groupe terroriste ?
    Si on doit appliquer la logique americaines, il faut donc ajouter le nom des Etats Unis en haut de la liste des terroristes

    Readers,
    Non les Americans ne sont pas des terroristes ni les Israeliens .. ils peuvent etre des assassins but tu ne peux pas les appeler des terrorists ..

    Un terroriste par defintion est quelqun qui impose sa volonte sur le gouvernment et le people par la force de ses armes et qui commets des acts de meutre utilisant ses propres armes.

    Les Americains ont VOTE pour leur government, meme pour les Israeliens.
    Hezbollah s’impose sur les libanais par la force de ses armes. C’est un parti terroriste.

    Je ne crois pas que ca peut etre plus clair que cela …

    Black Water est une compagnie … c’est pas un pays .. Puis y a aucune preuve de leurs actes … les seules actes dont tu parles ceux qui etaient responsables ont ete mis en prison ..

    Prkoi personne ne condamne les Black Water ?? Prkoi les Libanais ne font pas cela s ils ont des preuves ??

    Qui est le leche cul ici ??? prends les au tribunal international … fais une propagande sur eux …

    Mais ca ne change pas que le Hezbollah est terroriste ..

    C’est clair.

  • 31. N10452 | January 21st, 2010 at 9:53 am

    Cartman,
    Are you serious here ?? What did Lebanon do ??
    We have been protecting and developing what became the most feared and organized terrorist organization in the world here in Lebanon ..

    What you think the Americans are rejoiced about that ??? that their citizens could be threatened anywhere there’s Hezbollah around ??

    What world do you live in ?? like seriously ?

    And all you can come up with is that the americans are brainwashing me bla bla bla …

    Ive been bashing Obama for a year or more now … i dont like nor his administartion but there are things that are common sense and this is one ..

    To be effective, security measures must be tightly focused on those who are on the terrorist watch lists, and not the whole country. why do you have to pay for someone else’s act of terror ??

    Prove to me that HA is not a terrorist objectively.

  • 35. Reminder | January 21st, 2010 at 2:57 pm

    N.

    The definition of terrorism is: deliberate violence or the threat of violence directed at innocent non-combatant.

    Does israel and the US use violence against non-combtant and civilians?

    1960s-1970s Vietnam war, 3.5 million civilians killed… US

    1950s – present Thousands of Palestinain civilians killed.. Israel

    1982 Sabra Chatila massacre of civilians – LF

    1978 Ehden massacre of civilians including a young girl – LF

    1991-Present hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians killed – US

    1980, 1996, 2006, thousands of INNOCENT Lebanese civilians killed – Israel

    1970s, Damour massacre and other – PLO PSP

    1980s , massacres of the aley and chouf mountains – PSP

    1982-2000 SLA (jaysh la7ed or s3ade previously) in the South

    Where do you find Hezbollah in all this? May 2008? How many innocent civilians / non-combatants (NON-COMBATANTS mich bajam men 3akkar ma bya3rfo yi 7erbo) were killed?

    Doesn’t Hezbollah attack the Israeli military? like in 2006?

    What did Hebollah do to the SLA captured after 2000? delivered to the ARMY!

    There Hezbollah did commit minor terrorist acts, which are NOTHING when compared to the US ISRAEL LF SLA PSP PLO… ok hobbs? threatening an invading country with ur futile missiles is not terrorism.. its resistance
    the definition of a resistance according to the Merriam Webster dictionary: “an underground organization of a conquered or nearly conquered country engaging in sabotage and secret operations against occupation forces and collaborators”
    rings a bell? i ll give u a hint.. its not LF

  • 36. readers | January 21st, 2010 at 4:44 pm

    N,
    - et les elections legislatives en 2009 … n’est-ce pas les libanais qui ont vote et choisi ? est-ce que le Hezbollah a utilise ses armes pour changer les resultats, Non. Le Hezbollah a meme perdu les elections. Donc ton histoire de VOTE pour differencier les terroristes des non terroristes ne tient pas la route, vas chercher quelque chose d’autre.
    - Pour toi si le peuple VOTE pour un gouvernement ce dernier ne peut etre qualifie de terroriste. Excuse moi mais quand on VOTE pour un gouvernement qui enflame le monde entier que ce soit militairement ou economiquement et qui commet les pires massacres eh bien je considere que le peuple lui meme est devenu terroriste. Ceci vaut pour le peuple americain et pour le peuple israelien.
    - Quand a Blackwater je te conseille de faire un petit tour sur internet et tu auras une idee de l’influence politique et militaire de ce groupe sur les etats-unis. Tu auras une idee de l’arsenal militaire que detient ce groupe. Tu auras une idee des crimes que commet ce groupe.
    - Y a aucune preuve de leurs actes ??? mais tu rigoles mon cher ou bien tu refuses de voir la realite en face.
    - Le gouvernement des Etats-Unis a trouve que Blackwater qui est un groupe de mercenaires pouvait les aider a combattre ce qu’ils appelent le terrorisme. Pour proteger leur securite nationale ils ont permis a ce groupe prive d’operer la ou il veut, dans le pays qu’il veut. Ils ont permis a cette organisation encore une fois non gouvernementale de disposer des meilleurs armes. Donc pour la securite nationale des etats-unis le gouvernement a trouve indispensable de faire co-habiter l’armee et Blackwater. Pourquoi cette strategie est toleree pour les Etats Unis mais ne l’est pas pour le Liban. Le Liban a le droit de choisir sa strategie de defense comme il l’entend et il a trouve que la meilleure strategie “APRES EXPERIENCE SUR LE TERRAIN” etait de faire co-habiter l’armee libanaise avec la resistance.

  • 37. Darwish | January 21st, 2010 at 5:45 pm

    A terrorist organization by definition is defined as acting outside a recognized state boundary or authority, hence, it does not have any legitimacy to speak of. HA does not fit this category because IT IS part of the national government and because its representatives are elected by the people in legitimate elections. If some lebanese should label HA terrorists then the government of Lebanon and the country itself would be subject to the label of “sponsor of terrorism” and as such any sanctions brought upon the nation as a whole would be justified internationally, something that is not true in Lebanon’s case. The sword cuts both ways in this case lest we be careful.

    if you really have that passport you are bragging about or if you have it and ever used it then you’d probably know that it makes no difference, you’ll be classified and go thru that extra screening if you are from lebanese origins.

    plus..you retards the rule say’s “those traveling from or via the listed 14 countires”, REGARDLESS of who u are or what passport you carry.
