US issues Lebanon 'plot' warning
Mr Hariri was killed in an explosion in February 2005
The United States has said there is "mounting evidence" that Syria, Iran and Hezbollah are planning to topple the Lebanese government.
The White House said Syria hoped to stop the formation of an international tribunal to try suspects in the killing of former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri.
Spokesman Tony Snow said any attempt to destabilise the Lebanese government would violate UN resolutions.
A UN team has been investigating who was behind Mr Hariri's death in 2005.[/exe]
Now this may be biased news from the USA or it may be true, but will this be the trigger that blows the region wide open? and is this the reason that syria is massing its army on the Golans ..... not looking good at the minute!

Whats disgusting is that Americans were over there in the midst of an attack and we dragged our feet to get them out, then to make matters worse we dragged our feet in order to secure a cease-fire which took over 30 days and claimed the lives of over 1000 innocent people, and now all of a sudden our government has a new-found concern for the Lebanese government. There is more to this then meets the eye.

The Syrians were set up over the death of Hariri. I'm certain the Israelis would not have attacked otherwise. They needed Syrian forces out of Lebanon so what better way to do it than a simple assasination of a prominent figure, pointing thee blame at Syria.
The Syrians sure didn't benefit in any way from Hariri's death but Israel sure did
