France: Hizbullah not a terror group
By JPOST STAFF AND AP


Hizbullah is part of Lebanese politics and must not be regarded as a terror organization, said the French Foreign Ministry in a statement Thursday night.

The statement was an apparent about-turn by France after President Nicolas Sarkozy said that Hizbullah was indeed a terrorist group when he met with the captured IDF soldiers' families in Paris last week. Thursday's statement was prompted by protests from Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah.

Just when I was starting to really like Sarkozy, we pulls a 180 on everyone.
All this kowtowing to Hezbollah is just plain sad. Hezbollah should be targeted, not made friends with.

It's worse than sad - it's pathetic.

If France's argument is that because Hizbulla is part of the political structure of Lebanon it cannot be a terrorist organization, the counter-argument by the Coalition of the Sane should be that because Hizbulla is a terrorist organization AND a part of Lebanese politics, THEN Lebanon is a terrorist state.

Why should anyone have a problem with this????

We made the same conclusions with Afghanistan, and Iran. and we were right to do so.

Kouchner will be in Damascus within a month holding a suitcase full of apologies for that "...the Shia movement [Hizbullah] should stop its terrorist actions..." comment made by Sarkozy to relatives of two Israelis. He'll also carry with him an assurance that Sarkozy does not have Chirac's "unhealthy obsession" as the Syrians see it, with Lebanese political affairs.

Nought good, I say nought good will flow from this new French President.

I am disappointed in Sarkozy. The terrorist leaders whines and he caves is. Where are the Western leaders strong enough to take these guys on?

He will be prosecuted for racism.

He will be prosecuted for racism.

Why is it funny?

He is NOT prosecuted for racism...again and again you show how mis informed you are!

I never liked Wilders, but I chuckle when I see that according to polls his party is rising to be the largest. According to the latest poll he is the second largest party.

Wilders will go the same way as Le Pen who drove the first nail into his political coffin when he championed the cause of hatred and xenophobia. Questioning the Shoa buried him. Some people never learn

OK, facts please!

He has 9 seats in parliament, which makes him the 5th party. However, even the ultra-leftist SP has almost 3 times as many seats.

According to polls today he would be the third party.

I think he's just a populist with a lot of blabla. In the meanwhile, the second city in the Netherlands and the biggest port on earth now has a muslim maire. And most Dutch don't have any problem with that, as the Netherlands is really one of the most tolerant and open societies in the world.

Thought crime? Simply Awesome.
