Memo to Bush: Just shut up already!

Syria is already making motions towards withdrawing from Lebanon. Both Syrian and Lebanese leaders are saying that a gradual withdrawal will be best for all concerned. So naturally Dubya jumps in and demands an immediate withdrawal.

It's great that this occupation is going to end and Lebanon will be able to govern itself, but George, don't screw things up by getting into a pissing contest just for sound bites. Yeah, yeah, we know you're the big bad dude already. Just shut up and let democracy take its course. If you act the big shot every time someone comes around to our way of government, eventually the other big bad dudes will push back and make it more difficult.

If you're so hell-bent on ending the occupation of a potential democracy, then work on getting us out of Iraq.

Syria is withdrawing because of what the Lebanese people did, not because you scare them. Get over yourself already.
