When Lebanon started its resistance it was a small and divided country.

We believe that Lebanon has been the first real experience for all the Arabs.

It is even more so when it comes to Iraq, which is a large Arab country with scientific, material, and human resources and is able to accomplish, at the least, what Lebanon accomplished, and more.

No doubt that the U.S. is a super-power capable of conquering a relatively small country, but is it able to control it?

You in Lebanon, your power is no match to Israel. Israel, militarily, is more powerful than you and maybe it is more powerful than all the Arab countries, or most of them.

Lebanon was under Israeli occupation, up to its capital, but we did not consider that a disaster. Why? Because it was very clear that there are ways to resist.
