Hassan Nasralla and the Universal Nature of Selective Morality

Some events in one's life, as much as in humanity's conscience, are demarcation lines where what is right is clear, and what is wrong is clear.  Individuals and societies decide for themselves on which side of the demarcation line they would stand.  And their choice will be registered in the collective conscience of history.

We are witnessing some of these events that have been evolving over the last few months.  And many, or most, of us - individuals and societies - are choosing sides based on anything other than transient interests and obvious material gains.  Yet, most of us, like to present the choice as a 'moral choice'.

The latest in the long line up of  'selective and expedient morality' is Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah.

In the middle of the blood shed of unarmed Arab and Muslim Syrians seeking a glimpse of freedom from one of the most inhumane and police regimes in the Middle East, the Syrian Baath Dictatorship, in the middle of this, Hassan Nasrallah come out to align himself with the oppressors in Damascus.
