Lebanon's Pro-Syria Government Is Dissolved After Protests
(New York Times) Hassan M. Fattah - Lebanon's prime minister, Omar Karami, resigned Monday, dissolving the country's pro-Syrian government as the streets of Beirut were filled with tens of thousands of flag-waving protesters. Lebanese opposition leaders say they feel that the Damascus government is more vulnerable than ever and that this is the moment to act, especially as Lebanon's wary communities of Sunni Muslims, Shiite Muslims, Christians, and Druse have grown more united in their demands for the Syrians to leave.
