As the last Syrian troops moved through the storms and blizzards of
Mount Lebanon into the Bekaa Valley, they passed beneath the glowering
statue of Basil Assad, the man who would have been president of Syria
had he not died in a Damascus road accident. Seated astride his
favorite horse, dressed in military uniform, wearing a peaked cap and
graced with three withered wreaths, he has been guarded this past
decade by two equally glowering Syrian intelligence officers. "No
photo," they growled at me when they saw my camera. But there's a
problem.
