Hezbollah leader: Don't pin your hopes on Obama

Hezbollah leader Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah has cautioned the Arab world against expecting a change in U.S. foreign policy with Obama.

""Our Arab world, our Third World and our African world could empathize with Obama because of his past or the color of his skin, but politics and interests are a different story,"" Nasrallah told his supporters via a huge television screen in Beirut's southern suburb on Tuesday.

""Don't exaggerate hopes nor give people high expectations so that no one is disappointed or makes miscalculations,"" he added.

""I don't want to anticipate events, but logic dictates that we not bet on changes in injustice or believe that he will be more lenient or less unfair than his predecessor,"" Nasrallah said of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama.

""The result of the elections is proof of the failure of Bush's policy,"" he noted.
