According to this logic, Israel (your country) is close ideologically to Iran. Israel did provide Iran with weapons during the Iran-contra (love-)affair. Do you remember that? You don't have a selective memory, do you?
Wait a second... the US told Israel to give weapons to Iran at the time. So now the US is ideologically close to Iran who is ideologically close to Israel, and by extension Israel is ideologically close Hizballah which is ideologically close to Iran and Aoun.
The Moral of the story? Israel is ideologically close to Aoun. Aoun is a Zionist trying to bring the USA and France (forget Britain, it doesn't count anymore) closer to the Zionist camp.
Where do the contras fit in all of this though? I am stomped.
