...one day 70,000 individuals assemble to protest Syrian occupation of Lebanon and its "democracy on the rise." Then a few days later 500,000 individuals assemble in support of continued Syrian presence and they're all "terrorists." I guess expressing one point of view is democracy, while expressing another point of view is not. Is that how it works? Go figure.

Now before you go apoplectic, I am no fan of Hezbollah, but the fact that a half a million Lebanese can quickly organize to protest in support of Syria, should give us all pause about the complexity of the political situation there. Simple-minded affectations that these people should be summarily dismissed because they're all "terrorists" leads to bad judgement and bad foreign policy.

I suppose your solution would be to what, exterminate all 500,000 of these people so the only people left are those that agree with you?!?
