Evil never gives up quietly. We had to have known Syria would not just quietly leave Lebanon, nor leave Lebanon to its own future. It's obvious they are trying to foment civil unrest there to provide a pre-text for their return. Evil is never a push-over. Evil cannot be defeated by diplomacy and negotiation. Evil is only defeated with an iron fist. Syria needs to feel some real pain, both over its continuing rape of Lebanon, and for its support for terrorists in Iraq. Not a single drop of American blood being shed is worth the price of sparing Syria the fate they have so richly earned: comprehensive, brutal airstrikes.
Even though we want Syria out of Lebanon, do the think the situation can actually improve with Hezbolla taking over?
