HMM. THIS IS INTERESTING:

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 1 — The United States and France introduced a Security Council resolution Wednesday demanding that 20,000 Syrian troops “withdraw without delay” from Lebanon and that Syria stop meddling in the country’s November elections. It threatens to consider unspecified “additional measures” against Syria to ensure compliance.

The resolution reflects mounting frustration by Washington and Paris that Syria is seeking to rewrite Lebanon’s constitution to guarantee that the country’s pro-Syrian leader, President Emile Lahoud, can remain in power after his six-year term ends on Nov. 24.

Very interesting.
