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.
And? He can "accept" all he wants to; the people are going to decide this. And I doubt they will adhere to a Syrian backed constitution that has held them down all these years.
Great photos!
Thank!
Freedom and democracy are the anti virals to the deadly virus, Islamofascism.
Good day, anonymoussierra. Thanks for posting the article. In the 1980's, freedom swept through Eastern Europe, sparked by the Solidarity movement in your beloved Poland. Now it is happening again in the Middle East, sparked by the events of 9/11/01 and our brave GWB's response. Never in his wildest dreams did Osama bin Laden think it would turn out this way.
They are trying to dish up all.... the news , in itty bitty pieces....it's a reflection of this ADD society...
"Out of concern that the government does not become an obstacle to the good of the country, I announce the resignation of the government I had the honor to lead," Karami told parliament in Beirut.
Ummm.... not buying it. I mean, I buy the resignation, I highly doubt the motive. Something bigger is going on in the background - either an ultimatum to Syria or an ulterior motive from Damascus. I'm betting it's the latter.
Can we just send them all?
I hope you're right Grampa, but to me Saudi Arabia seems the trickiest nut of all to crack.
It looks like a freedom domino effect is happening in the "Islamic" world.
"added to the list" is irrelevant to the discussion. The fact that Bush initially said "These states and states like these that sponsor terror" by default, includes Syria. Syria has been on the "Terror Watch List", a list of countries deemed to be terrorist havens for decades, by the CIA.
I associate wild unkempt hair with .....wild animals....
You thinking maybe another civil war?
FJ, anonymoussierra is Polish. She posts from Poland, not the U.S. Her English skills may not be the best, but she is a kind and wonderful person who had a burning sense of gratitude to the U.S. for Ronald Reagan's help in freeing her people.
President Bush Great Middle East project to spread freedom and democracy has a lot to do with what you see now in Lebanon.
When we drain the swamps around Saudi Arabia and Iran, and innoculate the good people in those former swamps with the anti virals freedom and democracy, the despots in Saudi Arabia and Iran will become history.
The Lebanese government today annoucnced that it resigned after seeing the picture of US Sec of State Condi Rice in high black boots, and the severe expression on her face; they realized that the US government wasn't messing around..
You missed my point.
Keep in mind that one third of all Nelson boxes in this country are located in and around New York City.
What other constitution do you favor? This constitution allows Christians a say - with the office of President. If you advocate majority rule then its "Islam uber alles" and eliminates Christians from power like they have been eliminated from Iraq. The demonstrators are mostly Sunni Muslims from the assasinated ex PM's Sunni Muslim party.
If this catches on, it won't matter who is in charge.
Think of a British-backed Northern Ireland government up-and-quitting over the political assassination of someone in Sinn Fein... I think it's great to see people in the streets, but until the muscle is gone, all bets are off on who fills the vaccuum.
Leftism is a statist totalitarian political philosophy at its core. True Leftists hate the outbreak of liberty for the individual, because it threatens their dreams of a world super-state governing all humanity.
