excerpt from article:
********************
This week, the Muslim leader Fariq al-Hariri,
who lately joined the opposition, was assassinated
in Beirut. It is not yet known who did it. The
huge American propaganda machine, which includes
the Israeli media, has pointed at the Syrians. If
they are indeed guilty, it was an act of supreme
folly, since it was obvious that it would help the
Americans build up the Lebanese opposition and
arouse a storm of anti-Syrian sentiment. It happened
at exactly the right moment for anyone interested
in starting a campaign against Syria, under the
slogan "End the Syrian Occupation!"
There is something laughable about this demand,
coming as it does from two occupying powers: the
Americans in Iraq and the Israelis in Palestine.
But Rottweilers are not renowned for their sense
of humor, any more than those who parade them
around on a leash.
