Re: A Week Ago, The Cedar Revolution Was Righteous (4.00 / 3)

I don't believe that the so-called Cedar Revolution was in any way "U.S.-propelled." Bushco stepped in after the fact to try to claim credit, only to be laughed at by rank-and-file Lebanese, who hate him and all his works just as much as any other civilized nation.

Re Syria, though, I agree. Enormous opportunities have been missed, purely out of Neocon blindness.

Syria bent over backwards after 9/11 to cooperate with the US in a futile attempt to improve diplomatic relations. (See Joshua Landis Syria is being Set Up to Fail: A Leaked Letter from Washington (October 23, 2005).
