2 Reasons Nasrallah Is Afraid To Meet Ahmadinejad When He Comes To Lebanon

From Rotter.Net--based on a report from AFP

By all indications Nasrallah was not going to appear with Ahmadinejad at the mass public events that Ahmadinejad is organizing for his visit in Beirut.

But Iranians who understand the meaning of it - their protege fears Israel even though his great patron goes to him and holds him in his arms - are currently requiring Nasrallah to appear at a mass demonstration prepared by Ahmadinejad at the Al-Raya stadium in Beirut.

The stadium is located in a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut and can accommodate 40 thousand people.

So said a senior Hezbollah told AFP.

Nasrallah did not give any answer yet on whether he will appear in public or through video as has been his custom since the Second Lebanon War.[edited Google translation]

Rotter adds an insight--that perhaps it's not Israel that Nasrallah is afraid of:

It is not definite that Nasrallah's unwillingness to appear publicly with Ahmadinejad's mass event comes from his fears from Israel.

He understands the consequences of his actions, but apparently he feared a Syrian - Iranian conspiracy to have him removed from his position by a staged provocation.

When we see his decisions we understand the root of things.

Nasrallah knows exactly who the Iranians and Syrians are and realizes that he can be sacrificed on the altar of common interests.

But a Nasrallah no-show can't go over will with the Lebanese--or with his own followers in Hezbollah.

Despite the super-hero image that Nasrallah may try to portray...



...Nasrallah has forgotten the first rule of survival:



Never let them see you sweat.
