Events are very fluid within Lebanon and Syria due to Rafik Hariri's assassination in Beirut. According to this story in The Times, a group of some 140 Syrian intellectuals sent a letter of support to the Lebanese opposition by calling an immediate withdrawal of Syrian soldiers from Lebanon. Based on the letter, the intellectuals noted:
"We support your demand for the withdrawal of the Syrian Army from Lebanon and in correcting the Syrian-Lebanese relationship.”"The article also noted that the Opposition party in Lebanon will call for a no-confidence vote on the pro-Syrian government in Lebanon but few believe the small coalition to garner enough votes. But with the current uproar in Lebanon and the World against Syria, the Opposition could pull more votes from across the aisle. Maybe the power of the Lebanese people are greater than we think. It's time for us to really find out. I'm betting on Freedom and the Fire of Liberty.
