09/06/2009 Hezbollah vehemently condemned on Tuesday the United States interference in the Lebanese internal issues as flagrant and shameless, calling on US officials to learn democracy from the performance of Hezbollah and the national opposition's performance.

Hezbollah issued a statement in which it commented on the latest speeches and statement made by US officials concerning the outcome of the Lebanese parliamentary elections. Hezbollah statement also denounced the American attempts to impose US dictations on Lebanese people.

"Hezbollah strongly condemns the United States' continual harsh and overt interference in Lebanon's internal affairs, especially the statements of its officials on the results of recent parliamentary elections," Hezbollah statement said.

According to the Resistance party, the US reaction to the elections conveys a clear message of displeasure with the public support for the resistance . "The US is annoyed by the level of popular support for the Resistance and its choices," Hezbollah said. "That's why it re-vivified its unfair classifications of Hezbollah and invalid accusations against it of terrorism and anti-democracy."

The Resistance party emphasized that its presence, alongside the national opposition in Lebanon, constitutes a strong obstacle to all US sedition schemes. It pointed to the insolent US meddling in the Lebanese internal affairs, recalling that such affairs should be managed by the Lebanese people and only the Lebanese people.

Hezbollah concluded its statement by noting that its performance during the parliamentary elections, alongside the Lebanese national opposition, was exemplary. "The performance of Hezbollah and the Lebanese opposition and their position after the election outcome is a model for Washington and those who claim democracy in the world to follow and to learn from," Hezbollah said.
