Syria is saying that the deployment of international troops along the Syria-Lebanon border -- for the purposes of preventing Syria from continuing to supply Hezbollah with weapons, against the wishes of the Lebanese government -- would be a hostile act. It sounds like like Syria is saying that if the U.N. takes steps to protect Lebanon from Syria's de facto takeover attempt via Hezbollah, Syria won't like it.
Tough.
The quote:
Syria's president says the deployment of international troops along the Syria-Lebanon border would be a "hostile" act.
And...
Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora urged the U.S. to help end Israel's sea and air blockade, saying his country was making "every effort" to secure its borders.
Syria will secure its own borders to prevent itself from supplying Hezbollah in Lebananon? That's a laugh.
"Britain 'faces terrorism for generations.'" Or, they could just start identifying and expelling all the extremists.
By the way -- I didn't realize Bill Clinton had weighed in on this:
"The terrorists will use whatever argument they have got to pull the wool over susceptible people's eyes, but their goal, as Bill Clinton said, is to destroy the idea of a pluralist society."
