But Hariri's sister drew jeers from the crowd when she told them: "We will stand by Syria until its land is liberated and it regains its sovereignty on the [Israeli-] occupied Golan Heights."

This is big!! They try the old anti-Israel propaganda and it doesn't work. Because of GWB, Arabs are starting to care more about themselves and their own countries, and less about the Palestinians. This trend will continue as more and more Arabs realize that the supporters of Palestinian terror are also the suppressors of freedom in Arab counrtries.

A realistic goal is an Arab world that is not too crazy about Israel, but sober enough to accept it as a reality. This will only happen if the Arab world decides to step out of the middle ages and step into the 21st century.

You did not catch the "finesse" of Ms Hariri. Syria has been stirring trouble with Israel thru the lebanese border for decades while respecting a formal cease-fire at the syrian border with Israel!
Now that this mascarade is over, let Syria use its own border to flex muscle.

True, some of the folks in Lebanon are Christian but this IS Huge as you state. It's about as eye grabbing as Palestinians denouncing the bombing against Israeli's a few week's ago. Fury is being unleashed on Syria, not Isreal, for the first time in my memory.
