Nasrallah Clone

Yesterday I watched a part of an interview with the chairman of Hezbollah's executive committee, Hashem Safieddine. It took me about 10 seconds to convince myself that this isn't Nasrallah himself, and even then I still thought that there's no way this guy actually looks like this and that he's certainly trying to mimic (rather successfully) the Nasrallah look.

The similarities disappear though as soon as you hear him speak. Some say Nasrallah's speeches are arrogant and self-righteous. Well, they obviously haven't seen or heard this guy. He answered almost every question with something like, "Yes, of course we knew this was going to happen. We know everything. We did everything right." His answers were so redundant and void of any kind of meaningful content that if it weren't for the fact that he looked amusingly similar to Nasrallah, the whole thing would have been a total waste of time.

I beg to differ... It probably was a total waste of time. You could have looked at the picture only :)
