Lebanon

Fire of Liberty

The Lebanese government is probably going to be deemed a bigger lackey of the Syrian government by the people protesting in the street with their most recent appeasement of Junior Assad. The government of Lebanon has failed its people by allowing the Syrian military to dictate their own token withdrawal to Eastern Lebanon in the Bekaa valley. I doubt that the people will put up with such nonsense and I know the US will never be satisfied with this asinine placating. Assad seems to be playing the typical Arab dictator game of promising to do something but never following through. People grow tired of these old tricks and eventually seek solutions which are currently occurring in the streets of Beirut and the halls of Lebanon's opposition parties. The "Cedar Revolution" is rising and Syria might regret the events that it set in motion.
