Looks like Syria doesn't want any trouble. Good move on their part. The Lebanese people should be admired for the way they've rebuilt their country and tried to move past all the bullshit surrounding them. I'm glad their will is being honored and Syria is moving out.

Good on the Lebanese. I'll buy a felafel tonight from the local Lebanese kebab shop in honour of their resolve.

This does sound promising on the Syrian part.

So, first there was a large rally against Syria. Last week, Hizbollah countered with nearly half a million in support of Syria. Today, nearly one million showed up to voice their anti-Syrian message. I wonder if the PM will re-resign again. :shock:

I wish it was that easy to get rid of Bush.
