Lebanon"s "Independence"?
Reader comment on item: Lebanon's Liberation Approaches
Submitted by Jonathan D. Safren (Israel), Feb 22, 2005 at 14:17
You didn't mention the Hezbollah at all in your article. As long as the Lebanese government can't control its own territory - and it looks like things will go on that way as long as the ayatolahs run Iran - it won't enjoy real independence, Syria or no Syria.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
