Following the death of respected former Lebanese prime minister Rafiri, there's been strong outpurings of grief and outrage against the Syrians, who basically control Lebanon through political allies in the Lebanese government and their army which has around 15,000 troops stationed in Lebanon.

While this situation of Syrian dominance over their neighbor may not be just, there is no question that the US and consequently Israel stand to gain a lot from it. Already GWBush is telling Syria to get its troops out of Lebanon and to keep its hands off upcoming Lebanese elections in May, to leave it "free and fair".
You certainly think the US should do the same and follow its own advice.
