“Fight on, Lebanon”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In my capacity as the Lebanese Canadian Coordinating Council (LCCC) chairman, I strongly denounce the criminal attack against the Lebanese Army and Security Forces in North Lebanon over the weekend by gunmen of the “Fatah al-Islam” group which is affiliated – in decision-making and in weapons – with the Syrian Intelligence Services.
The rulers in Damascus had brought in its mercenary fighters several months ago to the Palestinian Camps in Lebanon with the objective of stirring strife, creating an anarchy situation, obstructing the creation of the International Tribunal and, most importantly, prevent the rise of a strong self-reliant Lebanese State and institutions that would spread its control over every inch of Lebanese soil and disarm the militias and impose the rule of law.
It is worth mentioning in this context that the Syrian intelligence militia, camouflaged under the name of “Fatah al-Islam,” was behind the bus bombing crime in the town of Ain Alaq in the North Meten Lebanese region that killed innocent Lebanese civilians this past February.
The LCCC holds the Syrian regime and the Lebanese opposition in all its factions fully responsible for the bloody clashes and demands the Lebanese and international judiciary prosecute its leadership for the attacks it has committed on the legitimacy of the Lebanese State, obstructing the operation of its constitutional institutions, creating a state of security anarchy, undermining the Lebanese economy and impoverishing the Lebanese people and pushing them to emigrate.”

Nuke reactor strains U.S.-Russia relations

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Russian plans to build a nuclear reactor for Burma have introduced yet another thorn into the Bush administration’s prickly relationship with Moscow.
Although the 10-megawatt reactor for low-enriched uranium is envisioned as a research facility, the State Department last week criticized the project as lacking a regulatory framework.
“It’s not a good idea,” State Department spokesman Tom Casey told reporters. “Burma has neither the regulatory nor the legal framework or safeguard provisions or other kinds of things that you would expect or want to see for a country to be able to handle successfully a nuclear program of this type.”
Mr. Casey said Burma, officially called Myanmar, does not have a nuclear regulatory commission or any safeguards to prevent accidents, environmental damage or proliferation.”
