I don't trust those Syrian bastards as far as I could throw them.
The pressure needs to be kept up on them to leave Lebanon. The sad part of it all, little recognized, is that the United States gave tacit approval to the original Syrian occupation on Lebanon in 1976. We were in a weak position post-Vietnam and there was no stomach to oppose it then, plus it was thought they might help bring order in the midst of the civil war that had just started.
The Lebanese people are the best force to get the Syrians out. They should be encouraged to continue their demonstrations and demands that the Syrians leave, and the Syrians need to be put on notice that any repression of these people will lead to the most severe consequences.
