Lebanon
Posted by Anthony Pugliese on July 18th, 2008
Lebanon is an interesting situation, and in many ways is in a pickle of sorts. As of now you have Iran and Syria controlling the country. Iran and Syria made an agreement of sorts. Iran said to Syria you can milk Lebanon and its natural resources for all its worth, you can tax the citizens as much as you want, just let Hezbollah into the country and leave them alone. Syria agreed and that’s essentially where we are today. Today Iran gives Lebanon approximately 1 billion dollars to keep the economy afloat and treats Lebanon as its backyard. It is for these reasons President Bush has listed Lebanon in the “Axis of Evil.”
