Jumblatt on being a realist, "the foolish policy of Georgia" & the planet "being systematically destroyed by the US..."

Jumblatt, as CONSISTENT as ever, talks to the WSN, here (Thanks AngryArab)
".....We have no other choice than to abide by reality. The question of Hizballah cannot be settled by complaining, crying in sorrow or shouting that they should disarm. Its impossible. It's a regional issue that goes from Tehran to the United States. Tehran uses Hizballah and its power to tell the Americans that in case they attack us, we can use Hizballah. And Hizballah proved it is able to be quite efficient through its actions in the July 2006 war...
....I don't know who is encouraging the Salafist groups there. The local people, the regional powers - I have no idea. But for Tripoli this is a time bomb. We have to reconcile and not give Syria the pretext to come to Lebanon to defend the Alawite minority.....
.....The West tried to grab Georgia, fix it and introduce it to NATO. The Russians have a good relationship with Syria, and I think it will further improve. This is why I am keen to see Lebanon in the non-alignment agreement instead of somewhere in the middle following a similar line to the foolish policy of Georgia......
........Its impossible for the United States to move peacefully. It is just impossible, with all the corporations ruling the country. Furthermore it is a competition between the United States, China and others as to who will control more of the wealth of this planet, and the planet is being systematically destroyed by the United States......."
