That protest today should stiffen the resolve of those in the US government who got wobbly after the Hezbollah protest. Two longer-range issues we should be thinking about: 1) We’ll have to get massive number of international election monitors in there, and not Jimmy Carter; 2) Someone is going to have to train and equip the Lebanese Army (and have to deal with the fact that it has been pretty extensively infiltrated). But this was a great day, and obviously puts more momentum behind the administration’s policy of enforcing 1559.
