"The Syrians have told us that they will turn Lebanon into scorched earth if they have to leave it. They are delivering," said Dikwaneh's Mayor Antoine Jbara, referring to a threat reportedly made by President Assad to ex-Premier Rafik Hariri before his Feb. 14 assassination, which exacerbated Syria's evacuation of Lebanon after 28 years of ruthless hegemony.

"They are purposely targeting Christian areas in their scorch earth campaign, hoping to provoke us into fighting our Muslim brethren, but we assure them civil warfare will never break out again. Hariri's blood has united us for ever," Jbara said.

"The Syrians will never again be able to bring us down to our knees. We tell loud and clear: 'we shall not kneel'," Jbara told reporters at the blazing scene in Dikwaneh."

 

I sincerely hope that we are providing all sorts of stealthy assistance to the brave people of Lebanon....these are people who we should be honored to have as good, lasting friends.

The Lebanese will never forget the manner that the Syrians leave Lebanon. I hope they boycott everything Syrian.

This is the same thing they tried in Iraq. It didn't work there either.
