Here are several pieces on the events occurring in Lebanon. First, here's an editorial from The Washington Examiner (new paper) calling for a firmer hand on Syria. Along with the editorial, I also have a good Op/Ed by Professor Walid Phares as well as a column by Amir Taheri on Syria leaving Lebanon. Amongst these two pieces, I found a particularly interesting line in Amir Taheri's column that I thought I'd share with you. Here it is:
Those who have wondered where next the flame of freedom may rise in the Middle East have their answer. After free and fair elections in Iraq, it is now the turn of Lebanon to break the shackles of tyranny and take the path of democracy.I've also found this article by Mordechai Nisan over at National Review Online. Nisan is a Professor of Middle East studies @ Hebrew University in Jerusalem and has a great grasp on the Middle East and its many facets.
All of these pieces should tide you over on Syria/Lebanon front for a day at least. Enjoy.
