Hersh: Saniora government funds extremists in Lebanon
Al-Manar special report /
Prominent American journalist Seymour M. Hersh made a detailed study on the American Administration's new policy for the Middle East in the wake of the invasion of Iraq. Hersh titled his study: "The Redirection." He founded this study on whether the US administration's new policy is benefiting the enemies of the so called war on terrorism. He also tackled the Lebanese political crisis caused by this policy. "The redirection as some inside the White House have called the new strategy, has brought the United States closer to an open confrontation with Iran and, in part of the region, propelled it into a widening sectarian conflict between Shiite and Sunni Muslims," Hersh said in his study.
He added: "To undermine Iran, the Bush administration has decided to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East." Hersh quoted in his study a senior security officer in the American administration as saying that the US has begun executing a political and financial program in Lebanon to support some Sunni groups to face Shiites.

They are seemingly mindless of the fact that for something to destabalise, it needs to be stable in the first place.
Getting rid of American meddling will bring stability into the region very quickly, Insha'Allah.
