Q. (1) The UN investigation into Rafiq Hariri’s death implicates Syria; was the investigator ‘leaned on’ and if so, by whom? Is Syria being ‘set up’ to make it look as if it is hostile to the West? (2) At the same time Iran is being bated and badgered with regard to its nuclear programme. Could you please comment? A. (1) Syria is certainly being pressured by the US which put pressure on the United Nations to implicate Syria in the assassination of Rafiq Hariri. The real culprit, according to my information, is the CIA. Not only had Syria no cause to kill Hariri, it would have been entirely against Syria’s interest to contemplate such an action. Syria and Lebanon have mutual need of each other. US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published findings which support my information. (2) Iran, of course, is similarly one of the so-called ‘axis of evil’, dreamed up by Mr Bush, because it is thought to have ambitions to make a nuclear bomb, which is not the case. Iran is large, strong, and the US is bogged down in Iraq. It is, therefore, unlikely that the US would invade Iran but it might bomb the nuclear facility which the Iranians, so far truthfully, insist is for domestic use only.
LOL! Wrong religion, and too much of a peacenik. The Mahdi is supposed to kill all the infidels, conquer the world, and subject it to shar'ia law. Then there will be "peace and prosperity" at long last.
