The US in Lebanon

Look how clearly the US manipulates mini-Hariri.  Also, make no mistake about it: the US is in no position to urge that parties in Lebanon stick to democratic and constitutional methods.  Remember that one Wikileak document describing a meeting between Fu'ad Sanyurah and David Petreus?  In it, Sanyruah acknowledges that "security assistance" from the US was crucial to the electoral victory of the Hariri coalition.  Also, the article is wrong: it is not clear that Turkey is close to Hariri camp--only.  Turkey plays it safe in Lebanon, and has been increasingly closer to Iran and Syria in that regard.
