In a meeting with former Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, he lauded Lahoud’s role in supporting the resistance movement and withstanding the excessive demands of enemies with courage and patience, Fars News Agency reported.
Jalili, who is the leader’s representative in SNSC, referred to the historic victory of Lebanon’s resistance against the Zionist regime in the 2006 war and said, “Moves by the resistance movements worldwide, the exemplary resistance of the people of Lebanon, and their imposing a humiliating defeat on the illegitimate regime of Israel led to the situation today wherein American politicians collectively speak about their mistakes and the futility of their past policies.“
Lahoud, for his part, characterized Iran as a real friend of Lebanon and said his people see Iran as a friend under all circumstances.
He referred to the aggressive nature of the Zionist regime and recalled that it is crucial that the resistance continue to confront Israeli aggressions.
Grateful
Lahoud praised Iran’s support for his country, and rejected any UN attempt to disarm the powerful Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah.
Lahoud who arrived Tuesday in Tehran on the invitation of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, attended a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, ISNA reported.
He expressed his dislike for the West and the Zionist regime’s conspiracies against Lebanon, and stressed that the hostile powers cannot impose their will on his people.
“None of western powers backed the Lebanese resistance. They even tried to stand against it,“ he said, adding that only Iran and Syria stood by his nation in time of need against Zionist aggression.
“We thought the westerners had come to Lebanon to be a part of the solution. But as it turned out, they secretly supported Israel.“
He termed the United Nations’ bid to disarm the popular Hezbollah resistance group as dangerous.
Mottaki, for his part, condemned the recent US attack on Syria and Pakistan and hoped that the next occupant of the White House would fix the dented US image in the world.
A US drone hit a tribal region in South Waziristan region of Pakistan late Monday and killed at least 20 people. It was the 70th violation of Pakistan’s territory by the US and NATO forces.

After reading this I somewhat understand why the Middle East is opposed to US "help". When the US says we're going over there to help the people we normally mean we're going over there to force our values on to a group of people who are happy living the way they are living. It's no wonder why people hate the United State's with a passion, and its not because we are the top super power. - Meka Brooks
