Mehlis Reports

Detlev Mehlis has handed in his report. The international investigator was assigned by the UN to investigate, Lebanon's ex-prime minister, Rafik Al Hariri's death. Today the UN is convening to discuss the report and its implications. I've read the report and it is one kick-ass investigation that does some serious finger-pointing to high-ranking officials in Lebanon and Syria. All the way up to both presidents. Apparently Bashar El Assad (Syria's version of Gamal Mubarak), was not pleased with having to share Lebanese rule with Hariri! So that's how it works! The SYRIAN president not happy with sharing rule over LEBANON with the LEBANESE prime minister. Sweet.

Here is an excerpt of a phone conversation that was recorded between a Syrian and a Lebaneese official:
The President of the Republic told me this morning that they are two to rule the country the Prime Minister and him. He said that things cannot continue this way.

A witness close to Hariri testified:
"[Hariri] reported President Assad saying to him: I will break Lebanon on your head and Jumblat’s head."

I am interested in the investigation because:

1)I've never really understood how leaders of military regimes think.

2)Syria and Egypt are probably the closest two Arab allies.

3)Politically speaking, Syria and Egypt have SO MUCH in common. They are almost identical twins.

4)The Assad family compels me to look at the Mubaraks and think.

Let's see who gets the last laugh.

A pdf version of Mehlis' full report is found at YaLibnan.com
Or if you want their HTML version.
I also came across an article that reports that an earlier version of the report mentioned specific names of Syrian and Lebanese officials likely to be involved.

Self-righteous pricks

I had just finished reading Mehlis' report investigating Rafik El Hariri's death. So I think why not write something on the blog about it. But before I do, I read the Sandmonkey just so make sure I'm not saying anything redundant that was already written.

Instead, I find no posts on Hariri.. but apparently I've been so out-of-touch about news in Egypt that there has been something of a religious sedition going on without the motherfuckers telling me. How dare they!

I would usually never write about shit like that. I mean really, what CAN one say?!

My God is better than your God?!
My God told me to fuck the shit out of the other God's people?
Can something be more stupider than a man killing another man because they both pray differently? One eats pig while the other doesn't?
You know what, FUCK THEM BOTH! They don't even KNOW their God. Hell.. they don't even know if their God EXISTS! No one really KNOWS! I wish I knew! How can I believe something that has so many contradictions in itself.. or something that has so many other "beliefs" opposing it. How can ANYONE be SO SURE of ANYTHING! And to be so engulfed in that "belief".. to have their lives focused and oriented solely around that "belief" that they would blindly and willingly do so much evil that blatantly condradicts the very basics of human life and the original purpose of those beliefs. So then what the fuck are these beliefs for if they do not improve our lives but serve as the fuel that kills us. We have taken belief to be fact that we are willing to die and be died for.
I read this quote a while ago and it struck me so true:
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction."
Blaise Pascal
French mathematician, physicist (1623 - 1662)

Can people be more blatantly stupid, ignorant and blind? 5,000 people suddenly go to crash into a church?! The paramount of Kefaya's demonstrations could not gather 5,000! Suddenly the self-righteous have appeared! The soldiers of Allah. Let's make our God proud. Let's break our fast on some Christian blood shall we! Let's stab a nun after Iftar. Oh the hypocrisy. The ugly black hypocrisy. You sicken me.
