Lebanon - Purge of Syrians Continues

More good news from the Middle East.

But CNN doesn't give credit where credit is due.

Hariri's murder, which is being investigated by a U.N.-appointed commission, was the catalyst for mass protests against Syria and greater international pressure that ultimately forced Damascus to withdraw its army from Lebanon.


Er, no. The war in Iraq gave the Lebanese the courage to stand up to the Syrians - that and a couple of hundred thousand US troops on the border.
