Ooops...re my #678 to you, that should be James Stewart, of course.

Only you would characterize democracy as mob rule.

I associate wild unkempt hair with .....wild animals....

A lot of women like their men to be wild beasts.(myself included) The opposite would be men like whimped out sKerry.

President Bush Great Middle East project to spread freedom and democracy has a lot to do with what you see now in Lebanon.

It sure does!

For the record, Axis allies in WWII consisted of: Germany, Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Slovakia.

[Howlin]

Exactly.

And I see the report says 60,000 people.

How does any of this square with Russia squarely throwing its weight behind Iran, and Iran throwing its weight behind Syria? Strategically, a retreat makes no sense at this point. Maybe down the road, but really, do you think they're going broke with Russia and petrol-dollar-rich Iran as patron states? Heck, Russia's openly selling them weapons.

Does not compute.

Careful with your remarks for a good friend!

No....he's probably thinking he wished the cameras were not there so they could shoot the protesters....

No problem. There are literally tens of thousands of people who frequent FR daily, and several hundred who post regularly. It's impossible to remember or get to know all of them.

FWIW, my take...you have Hezbollah entrenched in southern Lebanon, virtually a political entity....thousands of terrorists and they have huge supplies of those missiles that can reach Israeli settlements in the north..Now, if Syria pulls its trops out..and the Lebanese form a government, where do these Hezbollah go?

I apologize for my comment.

Ditto. The fantasy is that we ladies can sooth the savage beast... ;)

[Rutles4Ever]

Lest we forget the French Reign of Terror... that was mob rule masquerading as democracy....

WOW the domino effect- only in the middle east instead of SE Asia. Cool.
