I think Lebanon has for some time been under the control of Syria. A free Lebanon is a thing of the distant past.

Correct. Both uncilivilzed countries should be invaded, conquered, and subjugated by the west. Then, let them govern themselves after they convince the west that they can act in a civilized manner vis their neighbors. They don't attack their neighbors, they can govern themselves in any manner that they choose. If they fail to comply, they will become vassal states, subjucated by their more civilized superiors -- the west. That's all.

BTW, the same goes for Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, etc. etc.

Yep, Syria and Lebanon need to mend their ways. No question.

I'll wager, however, that following the "Mother of all regime changes" that will take place in Iraq in the near future, these two states will either begin to see the error in their ways or be easily handled militarily. Syria isn't exactly a military power to be reckoned with, and if Syria goes down, Lebanon would cleanse its self and become a model mid-east democracy like it was in the early 70's.

Just IMHO, of course but time will tell. And G-d willing we will all see the this play out in the near future.
