    Hezbollah slowly taking out Lebanon

    Lebanese industry minister gunned down in Beirut
    Prominent anti-Syrian Christian politician Pierre Gemayel was assassinated in a suburb of Beirut on Tuesday, his party's radio station reported.
    His fatal shooting will certainly heighten the political tension in Lebanon, where Hizbullah's leading Muslim Shiite party has threatened to topple the government if it does not get a bigger say in Cabinet decision making.
    Amin Gemayel, was a member of the Phalange party and supporter of the anti-Syrian parliamentary majority, which is locked in a power struggle with Hizbullah.


    Nasrallah discredits Lebanese gov't
    Nasrallah said in the speech that the Lebanese government lacked credibility, but denied his group was trying to block the formation of an international tribunal.

    "The authority team today is in a state of weakness and feel a huge defeat as the result of the last Israeli war in Lebanon," instigated by Hezbollah.

    Hariri was killed with 22 others in a suicide truck bombing in February 2005. The assassination sparked huge protests against Syria, which was widely seen as culpable, and an inseparable supporter of Hezbollah.

    Many nations much like Iran, and the former Afghanastan are completely governed by religious leaders who control every aspect of life. In most cases there is no rival political party, and, if there is they are a powerless minority meant to show the world how democratic they are.
