Lebanon paid a tremendous cost for
the war on its land with causalities equal to 10% of it is population. The
Syrian imposed dictatorship in Lebanon, and the ruined economy have forced
more than 30% of the Lebanese citizens to flee their country since 1990,
Nothing is certain about how
serious is the Syrian regime in withdrawing its troops and intelligent
agents from Lebanon. The combined forces are estimated to be over 50,000,
which is equal to the size of the Lebanese army and was sufficient to rule
the small country of Lebanon (4000 sq. mile) since 1990.
Syria has been acting as a
complete occupation power deciding on its own, when to move its troops in
occupied Lebanon- It takes the decision, then informs the puppet regime in
Lebanon.
The U.N. Security Council issued
the resolution 1559 asking Syria to pull its troops from Lebanon, and to
quit interfering in its affairs and dictating its rulers. The Syrian Baath
regime suffers isolation since the collapse of its twin regime “Saddam
Baath”. The Syrian dictator Bashar Asad defied Lebanese people and the
international community by imposing an extension to a Syrian-appointed
president in Lebanon. This has been the Syrian custom in appointing a
puppet regime in Lebanon since its Capital fell completely to Syrian
occupation in 1990.
The United States, France,
European Union, Arabian Gulf countries and many other nations around the
world have been putting pressure on the Syrian regime to obey buy the UN
Resolution.
