Thats right Thunder. And if we let the likes of Saddam carry on like he
had... Syria would laugh at the UN's resoulution. They would still be
under the impression that the UN never acts on any of its resoulutions.
They would have been happy to tell the UN to get F*cked for another 10
year min.

Guess after the USA stopped playing games and let the world know the
true meaning of the word SERIOUS these thugs are now shaking in their
boots. They know if they do not follow thru they will be taken out. End
of Story..Seriously.

Isnt it great to see democracy spreading throughout the Arab world!

There is good news in what we are witnessing in Lebanon - tens of
thousands of young men and women, Christian and Muslim alike, bringing
down the pro-Syrian government of Lebanon. This show of democratic
strength harkens to recent successful efforts in Ukraine. It could be
another "tipping point" in democratizing the Arab world.

Today, the Syrian leadership is completely exposed, lacking any
political cover. Its occupation of Lebanon - under the guise of
defending civil peace - is called into question by the sight of those
tens of thousands of young Lebanese flooding the streets of Beirut and
carrying signs reading, "Syria Out."

The protesters in Beirut were heard throughout the Middle East. Key
Arab leaders, including President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and King
Abdullah II of Jordan, asked Syria to leave Lebanon and comply with
U.N. Resolution 1559.

Assad is faced with a more difficult situation than the one faced by
Saddam in 1990. The regional environment has been fundamentally altered
by the advent of satellite media in the Middle East. Along with their
leaders, the people of the Arab world have closely followed these
developments - through the coverage of pan-Arab television such as
al-Jazeera and al Arabiya, as well as the Lebanese Future television,
owned by the family of Rafik Hariri, the recently martyred former prime
minister.

Globally, the cover for Syrian domination of Lebanon has been blown
away by the U.N. resolution and the consensus reached between the
United States and Europe on this matter. France's President Jacques
Chirac, leader of Lebanon's former colonial power, attended Hariri's
funeral.

Syria is completely isolated, locally by the Lebanese crowds, and
regionally as important Arab states such as Egypt, Jordan and Saudi
Arabia have backed the protesters in their demand that the Syrians
withdraw from Lebanon. After a period of cool relations following the
Iraq war, the United States and France have come together to call for
the immediate implementation of 1559.

So, as the Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq al-Shara traveled to Cairo
and Riyadh during the last two days, he confronted great trouble in
getting any help from his traditional friends.

Even the most authoritarian regimes who have managed to quell their
internal dissent must take into account this fact: The United States is
next door in Iraq. Syria has based its policies inside and out on fear,
intimidation and power play. Few Arab citizens or states are likely to
be sympathetic to Syria's present plight.

To bad the liberal whiners are not under the thumb of a Saddam type or
Assad type. Bet they would change thier tune in a heart beat.

This is very good news. People everywhere want
freedom. They are entitled to it.

Jon Stewart, a liberal, conceded on "The Daily Show"
that Bush's policies seem to be working. His guest
would not admit it. Blind ideology has been proven
to be the failure of liberalism.

Many liberals can't handle the fact that Bush is
successful promoting democracy in the Middle East,
and will not admit Bush has been proven successful.

George W. Bush firmly stood his ground and showed
the people of the Middle East he won't fold. Hi firm
resolve helped empower the people of Lebanon to stand
up for their rights. This will further encourage other
people in the region. Perhaps Iran will crumble next.

George W. Bush is right again!

That's all Joey can do... calling people bad names. He, Neal, Scotti Potti,
and a few others. Unfortunately, they represent a huge percentage of the
voting public. Next up, AARP trashing.

Here we go, more name-calling and false quotes. It's like deja-vu all over
again.

Please re-read my post, Joe. *Where* did I say I was sad, or that I
thought things in Lebanon were going wrong? Can your ideas not stand on
their own, you have lie about others?

DSK

They *are* destroying the earth and certainly the US. There's plenty of
evidence for it. Why don't you and Mr. Poodle look it up.

We are saber ratteling physcos willing to have 1000's killed for

Well to bad... so sad.........You were wrong...Your whole stand on the
war with Iraq was wrong.. People in the middle east are getting a taste
of freedom and they love it. It's spreading thru the region like
wildfire.

You can thank George W Bush right now.

BTW I did not call you any names...I took that part out before I
posted.

Bush may or may not have had anything to do with it. More likely, this sort
of thing was going to happen anyway. The people demonstrating in Leb are
using the same name as the Palestinians for their movement but using the
techniques from the Ukrane.

when the blue and red overlap....it becomes purple.

Many liberals and even more true concervatives refuse to credit Bush with
the fact that the sun rose this morning either. Unlike y'all neocons, we
don't think he had much to do with it.

We note that, to our chagrin, Iraq gave Shiite fundamentalists a majority in
the counsel that will write their constitution. That means Iraq will
establish a government much like Iran's. Bush will have replace a secular
dictatorship that opposed al Qaeda and other religious terrorists with a
theocracy that condones them. Do you think of Iran as a free democratic
country? That's what it takes to believe Bush is promoting democracy.

In your dreams. I, for one, predicted that Iraq would replace Saddam's
secular dictatorship, that was death on radical Muslim terrorism like al
Qaeda, with a Shiite theocracy much like Iran's, which would embrace radical
Islam just as Iran has. Much has been made over the success of the elections
but who and what did they elect? Why the party that promises an "Islamic
Republic" just like Iran's!! Sounds like radical Islam is spreading, not
freedom - just as I predicted.

Ditto Syria - another secular government. Isn't it nice to see them in
trouble? Maybe they'll be forced to give in and support al Quada too.
