Lebanon, as a country, might be free from Syrian occupation, but that will not necessarily translate to freedom for the Lebanese people in the way that you and club seem to have in mind (i.e., democracy, etc.). Maybe in five years Lebanon will be a success story, and maybe it will be mired in a civil war. That remains to be seen.

I agree with this - there are two layers of repression here. However, it gives me hope that one of the layers MAY be being peeled. I also suspect that those doing the peeling will be embolden by the president's pledge (and actions) to support liberty, as they at least know that if they do rise up GW won't leave them to be slaughtered.
