Donate To The Lebanese Army

Because the Lebanese army is doing its job and is defending its territories against another country which officially the Lebanese state considers an enemy not to mention that country occupies Lebanese territory , because the Lebanese army is defending its people , because the Lebanese army was not created to fight other Lebanese fractions ; the United States has decided to cut the military aid of the Lebanese army.

You do not need to think too much to know why that military aid was cut , the US congress believed foolishly that Lebanese army was the new Southern Lebanon army and it will fight Hezbollah on behalf of Israel !!! The decision to cut the aid was based upon the belief that the army collaborates with Hezbollah !! Of course the army collaborates with Hezollah , is not it an official recognized Lebanese party in a Lebanese state with independent sovereignty theoretically speaking !!??

Anyhow I am glad that the US Military aid was cut from the Lebanese army , the American people need this money more than the Lebanese army and here I am not being sarcastic or rude , we all know that this aid was given for other sinister proposal.
The Lebanese did not sit still in front of this decision , Speaker of Lebanese Parliament Nabih Berri said that that he is ready to equip the Lebanese army even from underground!! "Of course in normal situations and countries armies get equipped from underground sources  to provide some secrecy  and privileges, you do not need to announce it !! "
Turkey and Iran offered their help and I am sure they are helping already along Syria but they are not enough I am afraid.  Saudi Arabia and follow states in the Gulf should help the Lebanese army with money and we can provide training and expertise to our dear follow Lebanese from our side in Egypt if we want to found a strong powerful army ,more powerful than any party or fraction."I know I am speaking in lala land"
The Lebanese people for so long time did not feel that they have got an army , only the poor and the hopeless joined it according to the words of late prime minister Rafik Hariri who was proud that the army began to stand in his time, the armies of Lebanese people were their fractions' armies so to have an army like the one they have now , it is something huge so it is not surprising to find the Lebanese defense army Elias Murr setting up a fund to equip the army at Banque Du Liban along with his father former minister Michel Murr. The Murrs have donated 1 billion Lebanese Lira ( $670,000) and from here I must record my admiration for these two men and the example they have set.
Lebanon has got many rich businessmen and icons like for instance Al Hariri and Elie Saab besides of course  the famous/infamous arms dealers whom can provide aid to the Lebanese army very easily if they truly believe in their country and want to have a strong Lebanese army. I swear if every Lebanese singer , fashion designer, top model and TV personality donate just $10,000 from their bank accounts , this army can have air forces and air defenses in less than a year !! "This is what Lebanon actually needs : air defenses systems to put an end to the Israel infiltration to its skies"
FYI the Lebanese army had a busy day today's morning fighting what the United States of America identities as terrorism
By the way you can read here my opinion about the USAID to Egypt.
