Oh, sandmonkey, the picture with this good man's daughter grieving the senseless murder of her father is hard to see without crying.

I find the Lebanese flag draped over his empty chair the most powerful. A true heroe to Lebanon's fight for freedom.

Rubin,

Can you please provide us with evidence of Syria doing this? or is it another WMD scam?

I hope that the other 6 have good security and if there is an attempt they can be caught and it can be proved that it was Syria so fools like twosret won't have something to argue about. Syria stashed something in Lebanon that just might blow your whole argument about any scam away. Why do you think they are fighting so hard about Lebanese independance? I sometimes wonder if Iran's President isn't trying to pull a "look at me,look at me" so we won't be watching Syria too closely as we should?

I think you have it exactly backwards. Iran desperately needs to keep the US busy long enough to finish building a few nukes. What makes you think Iran gives a damn about Syria? Secular Sunni Arabs on one side, religious shi'ite persians on the other? Where's the common ground there?

I'm just guessing (aren't we all though?) but I don't think it's Syria. No matter how convenient that might be for the US.

Syria is making far too many mistakes in Lebanon. I would guess they are silencing anti syrians because they will be needing Lebanon again soon, when the UN sanctions kick in, to smuggle goods & use them again without the hassle of anti syrians annoying them. & in the mean time, they can blame Israel or America for those assassinations.
there is more sadness to come from there, im afraid!
