Lebanon's most powerful party, Hezbollah, says it does not want Syrian troops to withdraw from Lebanon. It has called for a mass rally in central Beirut on Tuesday in support of Damascus and against what it calls Western meddling. "The U.S. and Israel want chaos in Lebanon in order to find an excuse for international intervention," said Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah secretary general. The Shiite Muslim group says Syria's pullout under intense global pressure could spell chaos for Lebanon and push it towards peace with Israel.Peace with Israel?Peace? We don't need no stinkin' peace!

In the meantime, the government of Lebanon and Syria have agreed to a gradual reduction in Syria's military presence within Lebanon. No surprise they agreed since the Lebanese government is more or less a puppet of Syria.
