Lebanon

Fire of Liberty

While the people of Lebanon continue their push to be freed from the hands of their Syrian masters and their 14,000 man force, things could take a different turn based on Bashar Assad. One never knows what a dictator will do to continue the status quo.

As James S. Robbins notes in his piece at National Review Online, Assad is a partner with Hezbollah and could easily instruct a massibve killing spree to destroy the movement. Robbins also notes that Assad is getting testy with the US because he has decided to team up with Iran, terror state numero uno, as well as his continued support of the insurgency in Iraq. The Middle East is getting warm and it might be Jr. Assad who needs some cooling down. Stay tuned.
