Great article - thanks for posting.

The author paints a picture of an embattled Ba'ath party invoking a scorched earth policy in Lebanon. He does not go into detail as to why he thinks that a withdrawal from Lebanon will serve as that party's death-knell, but he makes a fair case that it has thoroughly alienated the three principal parties in Lebanon and that its welcome is worn out.

It is evident that one key to this situation is Hezbollah. Will an independent Lebanon suit their Iranian masters? It doesn't appear that way. Can they do anything about it other than that traditional Lebanese resort, blowing holes in the place? I suspect we're about to find out.

The purple fingers of the Iraqi voters knocked over a mighty big domino. Like Eastern Europe in 1989, the Middle East may be on the verge of a breathtaking cascade of human liberation.

A good example of just how worthless the MSM is.
