Thread Name: BS: Syria is in big trouble
Subject: RE: BS: Syria is in big trouble
Interesting how important it is to read an entire article.

Screaming headline in the Washington Post:   TOP UN ENVOY TO PRESENT SYRIA WITH ULTIMATUM-Nation Must Withdraw From Lebanon Or Face Isolation.

But, if you read the entire article you find that the all-important question of Hezbollah's disarming has been pushed to past the coming election.

If the election indicates strong support for Hezbollah, it will be a moot point--they'll have no incentive to disarm.

As an old country song put it-- "The Big Print Giveth and the Little Print Taketh Away.--sample lyric:

The car got in a wreck but that didn't fret me none
Til I found I was only covered between the hours of 12 and 1.

If Syria is out, but Hezbollah turns out to be the dominant force in Lebanon, is this progress for Mideast peace?
