Sayyed Nasrallah, you are wrong, very very wrong to call for the support of a criminal repressive regime of Bashar el-Assad. Too bad you have joined many of the so-called “Arab nationalists” who not only failed to speak up against the Syrian regime and its killing fields but also remained silent.

Every May, there are two rolling thundering groups that descend on Washington Dc, the nation capital. There is the Rolling Thunder, the Veterans group, loyal Americans honoring their comrades in arms and reminding the nation of its son and daughters who took up the call to serve the nation. Then there is the other group, the American Jewish Holy Worriers, AIPAC, Israeli loyalists coming to Washington to intimidate the nation, its president and its Congress. A stark difference of two rolling thundering groups. Read the rest of this entry »
