The Road to Damascus
Today marks a special moment in the epochal War on Terror: Syria, against her will, has vacated Lebanon after 29 years. Without a shot being fired, mind you. All this because the Emporer of the World, President Bush, said "get out by May or else". For the third time in less than 5 years, an oppressed people have been freed from the tyranny of an Islamic/Arabic regime. All this without so much as a sniffle from the Main Stream Media.
And yet, I sense trouble ahead for poor old Lebanon. The Cedar Revolution may have been emboldened by the electoral success in Iraq, thanks to the fortitude of President Bush in Washington, but like Iraq, the Lebanese people had better brace themselves for a terror campaign by Syria's own jack-booted thugs in the terrorist group called Hezbollah. Though Syria's armed forces and intelligence apparatus have "triumphantly" marched back to Damascus, Lebanon is still occupied by terror armies which will avenge themselves at the expense of the Lebanese people who only desire freedom from oppression.
Just as Lebanon will form its own indigenous government, I predict that Hezbollah will launch their own campaign to destablize this former french colony and perhaps return it to the days when another terrorist organization, the PLO, made their headquarters in Beirut in the 1970's. This terror campaign will be entirely directed by Damascus and just like their meddling in Iraqi affairs, they certainly will have no qualms about interfering in their own backyard as far as they see it.
What are we to do? Syria under the Baathist regime of Assad has been a major instigator of terror throughout the Middle East and especially so since, their Baathist cousin in Saddam Hussein was overthrown by American Armed Forces, they know their time is short. Hence they have moved the rest of the Syrian army out of Lebanon back into Syria to shore up the Assad Regime. Damascus must be overthrown in order to effectively end the Sunni Islamic uprising in Iraq. This in turn will ease the burden of the Lebanese people as well as occupy the enemies of America in Syria proper. Damascus is the administrative and logistical hub for terrorists in Iraq, Lebanon and Israel. She must be destroyed.
As we move our chess pieces in position to checkmate Iran, Syria will have to be dealth with sooner or later. As we move against Tehran, Damascus will try to "pin-down" American Forces in Iraq through both conventional and asymetric means. If push comes to shove, then a glorious D-Day like amphibious assault by US Marines from the Mediterranian onto Syrian beaches would certainly send a message to Damascus that if you mess with the best, you die like the rest! Woe to our enemies.
