Lebanon remembers Hariri

02.14.07

300,000 people turned out in Beirut to honour assassinated ex-premier Rafik al-Hariri’s memory and protest Syrian attempts at control in Lebanon.

Some truth

08.17.2006

Good letter in today’s Gazette: How can a terrorist group that provokes a war subsequently claim to be “resisters” when the going gets tough? This utter hypocrisy is echoed by Lebanon’s prime minister, who initially claimed to be held hostage by Hezbollah, only to proclaim subsequently his outright support for the terrorist group.

So let’s see, what can be said about the past 48 hours? Israel has begun pulling out of Lebanon. But the UN peacekeeprs aren’t going in – and nobody’s willing to hold Hezbollah to its obligations.
