Syria Out!!!

Fire of Liberty

Peter Brookes has his take in today's New York Post on the spirit of freedom which is floating around the Middle East. He notes that the US and World powers need to pressure the Syrian government to 1. Withdrawal all troops and intelligence forces from Lebanon 2. Resignation of Lebanon's pro-Syrian gov't 3. Free elections when Syrian troops leave. He notes that if they don't do this the US needs to push the sanctions established under the 2004 Syrian Accountability Act. He also notes the EU shouldn't push trade and political deals with Syria. While the various member states of the EU might not be willing to cut Syria off, the British are signaling their intentions. Check out this article in The Times, the Brits are pushing Syria on its relationship with terrorists.

The situation is fluid. The people of Lebanon have achieved step 2 and as long as we watch the situation, the people of Lebanon shouldn't fear pushing forward the "Cedar Revolution."
