-          There's no longer any point in the resistance remaining in any branch of Lebanon's government, not even in parliament. It's impossible for it to play a legislative role given the weird and wondrous partnership between the executive and legislative establishments.

 

-          There's no longer any point in the resistance remaining involved in domestic political quarrels or discussions"There's no longer any point in the resistance getting mixed up in political games that tarnish its reputation, undermine its standing, and make it resemble the gangsters who make up most of the political class in this land of the deranged."

  Al-Amin editorializes that "The system sees the resistance as an alien body which must be ejected by any means: through isolation if possible, sectarian strife if necessary, and treason and the summoning of foreign invaders when desperate.

 

Al Amin additionally concluded:

 

-          There's no longer any point in the resistance continuing to be involved in government crises which it never had anything to do with, and when there is no real partnership in decision-making. This reduces it to the role of mute witness to daily acts of robbery, waste, sabotage and the destruction of what remains of the hybrid state.

-          There's no longer any point in the resistance remaining around the table with people who are above the law, however lofty or lowly their ranks. This has become akin to providing cover for the debasement of every family and individual in the country.

 

-            There's no longer any point in the resistance remaining a player in a game of appointments and patronage that does nothing to protect the resistance fighters or maintain the dignity of their families. Instead it isolates those who are willing to sacrifice all they hold dear for their people and beliefs but still cannot cross a road un-harassed or provide for their children.

-          What use is there in Hezbollah staying in a government, parliament or other state bodies that it cannot trust?

-            What is the use of remaining in a government that provides misleading, fabricated or skewed information to sustain an international body which seeks to damage the resistance in the name of justice -- helping Israel achieve what it failed to do by force of arms? It grinds its people to the bone, and will not spend a penny on developing public utility.

  Editor in Chief Amin's   sunshine-patriot weak kneed laments and his apparent eagerness to throw in the Resistance towel plus his expressed fears sound at time like they were written by a speech writer last July for Libya's   Gadhafi   or Yemen's Salah, and he errs with virtually every syllable he pens.
