Just watching CNN. They Pro-Syrian government has just resigned. Huge celebrations in Beirut.

Mod note: On CNN's banner:
Lebanon’s pro-Syrian prime minister, Omar Karami, announces his resignation and that of his government. Details soon.

This guy is kinda hot too!

He is a really good-looking guy. Sort of looks a little like Ben Affleck with a beard and long hair. But politically speaking, he's a whole heck of a lot more savvy that Dimbulb Ben.

[CitizenM]

Thanks...but must have missed it. Hope they up their coverage to make it continual. All the media seems to be treating this as something trivial. It is another PURPLE FINGER type event!

[Coop]

Coop doesn't think Syria is a state that sponsors and harbors terror.

Come up with one quote - just one - that backs up your nonsense.

[AmericanInTokyo]

or rather, more specifically, 'what the majority of the dumbed-downed ones want' (to watch)

I hate to rain on everyones parade, but Hezbollah is NOT going to take this lying down. I hope I'm wrong and I the freedom-loving citizens of Lebanon don't put up with them.

[Raycpa]

Good. The fact that an axis is the center of a greater whole seems to have escaped your examples.

[Coop]

Well Coop... you are wrong in your assertion that Syria is not part of the Axis. If your reply to facts proving you were wrong is simply "go away", so be it.

I see. So the President's speech, plus the three newslinks I provided, plus the two links you provided, somehow in your Bizarro World prove that I'm the one who is wrong? Otay, 'Panky!

Not too many young and politically passionate men around these days who look that good.

[Bahbah]

This guy is kinda hot too!

He does look like he would clean up real good, doesn't he ;)

[AmericanInTokyo]

probably (rosary beads).

I don't know islamics to use rosary beads, even though I know hindus and particularly buddhists do. but their's are much shorter than christian 'rosary'. probably a christian lebanese (actually my question was if the person were male or female?)

[Coop]

Not at all. But thank you for playing. In your view, I guess, the World War II axis would look exactly like the contemporary Axis of Evil.

[oceanview]

what is the contingency option here, if Syria sends a military force into Lebanon to suppress this? Do we counter attack with US forces?

[rintense]

Clean up? He looks hot like that! Kinda reminds me of the Israeli actor in The Mummy.

[C-Note]

Wow, moving pics.

The Lebanese flag has to be the second most beautiful flag.

They could be Rosary beads, there are Catholics as well as Eastern Ortodox and Copts in Lebanon.

[Rutles4Ever]

I agree with you. I want this to carry through, but this resignation doesn't pass the smell test.

But I hope I'm wrong.

[ravingnutter]

Just wondering..any news from the French? Has Chirac taken credit for making this happen?

Haven't heard anything from them yet...will go out and do a search to see if I can find anything.

"Hezbollah is NOT going to take this lying down"

True, freedoms not free. It's something only the bravest can maintain.

But most when freedom works, it usually starts like this.

[oolatec]

Coop. The President added Syria to the Axis in 2002.

[processing please hold]

Too skinny for my taste. The one on the left looks like he has some meat on his bones.
