Aoun”s Defense Strategy Hurls Lebanon into Civil War
MP Butros Harb on Saturday warned that a defense strategy blueprint proposed by Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun would hurl Lebanon into civil war.
Harb said Aoun”s proposal "would certainly lead to the creation of several armed groups in each and every village. These conflicting armed groups would lead Lebanon to civil wars."
Harb, talking to reporters after meeting Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir, said the March 14 forces would present a "unified" defense strategy blueprint … focusing on the Lebanese People”s role in backing the state in defending the homeland without spreading chaos."
He called for "quiet" tackling of the charges made by alleged fatah al-Islam members through Syria”s official television.
"Mustaqbal Movement is our ally and we believe in the same national principles," Harb stressed.
He recalled that Mustaqbal Movement had strongly backed the Lebanese Army in its crack down at Fatah al-Islam terrorists in the northern refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared "contrary to other political forces … that had declared a red line against the issue."
