Lebanon, Free and Independent

Lebanon is once again proving that its government isn't a puppet regime for Syria. This time their expressing their independent thought by establishing a cabinet devoid of Christians and pining for solidarity with their "Syrian brothers." Surely that proves that Syria isn't running the show in Beirut (just like the 40,000 Syrian troops don't prove anything either!).

This does nothing to further the cause of peace in the Middle East. It does, however, further the cause of the Middle East Disarmament Treaty as I discussed here.
