"Reportedly, 19th century Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz once remarked: "Poor Mexico, So far from God, So close to the United States." His proximity comment applies to Lebanon. Bordering Israel, it experienced decades of belligerent interventions as early as 1954 when Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion proposed supporting the establishment of a Maronite-dominated Christian mini-state." 

Duh, the Mexican people love living close to the U.S., as witnessed by the millions who braved hell to cross the border and stay despite the odds. I didn't notice millions crossing the other way to live under Diaz. :)

That misapplied analogy aside, once again Arab-oil-money-greased Sheik al-Lendman tries to turn black white and white black to get his hands on the green, this time with Lebanon, which was once a model of multiculturalism, permitting Muslims to immigrate into Beirut, the Paris of the Middle East, only to see them refuse to assimilate and tear the country apart with horrible religious civil war, with notorious horrors such as checkpoints to check IDs for Christians and summarily murder them. Israeli intervention was to stop these Allah Akbaring thugs, and we all remember what they did to the Marines barracks in Beirut. Lendman's dismissal of the U.S. and Israel as "imperialists" is like listening to a man with a paper asshole on a pot. Of course Lendman doesn't care about democracy or imperialism, he really wants Lebanon to become a pure Islamic state, along with Israel, followed by the world, so screw him and all his mendacious vomit, or better, just reverse the conclusions and save time. As Americans we will always stand against Islam and its attempts at world domination and subversion of our Constitution. The U.S. and Israel aren't "imperialists" but on the side of truth and right, fighting the evil of Islam in all its insidious forms. This goes all the way back to WWI, when the U.S. fought the freedom-hating Prussian kaiser and his freedom-hating Ottoman allies in the name of freedom and democracy and kicked their butts bigtime.
