Pariah State

UK Foreign Secretary (I think that's the equivalent to the American Secretary of State) Jack Straw has warned Syria that it's running the risk of becoming a "pariah" if it doesn't withdraw its troops from Lebanon.

In a related story, I wish I could be there to be involved in the Lebanese protests. Not only would I love to help a country transition from being under the thumb of a puppet government to being a free and moderate nation, but I'd love to have attractive Lebanese girls riding on my shoulders.
