...year timeout, of the bloody civil war that began in 1975, Syria and its allies in the Lebanese government are already taking the heat. Lebanese opposition parties have openly accused pro-Syrian politicians in Beirut of complicity in or authorship of the crime, and have warned President Emil Lahoud and other members of his government to stay away from Wednesday's funeral lest their presence provoke violence. The U.S. responded to the killing by demanding Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon, and by summoning home its Damascus ambassador in order to express its ?profound outrage? over Hariri's death. The Bush administration...

...Syrian withdrawal. Although he had carefully nurtured his own relationship with Damascus during his tenure as Prime Minister, Hariri had decisively broken with Syria last October when he resigned in protest at efforts to alter Lebanon's constitution, at Syria's behest, to allow the pro-Syrian president Emil Lahoud to serve a further three years. He quit soon after voting for the change demanded by Syria...

...propaganda triumph for Hizballah was undeniable. The militia had stared down the strongest army in the Middle East. Israel's departure sparked a nationwide celebration in Lebanon. Hizballah was the party's hero. "A historic victory," said Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, "which we hope marks the beginning of a new era of stability."

...Lahoud participates in the PLO's weak rationalization for their unconscionable acts of terrorism by comparing them to Deir Yassin, a unique, atypical, and unauthorized 1948 military operation that was roundly condemned by the Jewish leadership. Throughout Israel's history, the few individual soldiers who have taken upon themselves to attack Arab civilians have been court martialed and imprisoned by the Israeli government. Compare this Zionist position to the praise of PLO, Syrian, and Saudi Arabian spokesmen for the recent PLO terrorist rampage on the Israeli coast, and to the cavalier attitude toward Palestinian lives which is symbolized...

...Lahoud claims that 30 years of frustration have driven the Palestinians to terrorism. I believe that she underestimated the moral fiber of those she would defend. After 2000 years of frustration, Jews are still able to withstand the temptation of a terrorist policy. I suspect that the majority of innocent Palestinians, Lahoud notwithstanding, are strong enough to do the same--though I hope they will not have to wait as long as the Jews...
