Is Assad's Regime Long For This World?
(Daily Star-Lebanon) Michael Young - A top official at the U.S. National Security Council (NSC) said, "We have told Syria it is responsible for violence in Lebanon. If Syria wants to escalate the violence, it will be another Syrian mistake." This phrase was echoed by a senior Pentagon official who asked: "What mistake will Assad make next?" After 29 years, the Syrian regime, which we must reportedly thank for having robbed Lebanon blind, assassinated its leaders, bombed it cities and killed many thousands of its civilians, leaves a legacy no one cares to resurrect. The NSC official also said there must be a "realistic timeframe" for Hizballah's disarmament, and suggests the way to do this is to reinforce the Lebanese Army.
