In another major revelation, the United Nations has revealed it sent warnings to Lebanon in the days prior to Monday’s attack, and urged the government to step up security for Hariri.

French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, who flew to Beirut with his wife and daughter, in the wake of the assassination, has called for an international investigation, a course the Hariri family supports. The UN Security Council meantime approved a statement urging the Lebanese government to “bring to justice the perpetrators, organizers, and sponsors of this heinous terrorist act.”

Lebanon has been the scene of dozens of assassinations in the past thirty years, creating a climate of political instability and unrest. Two presidents, Bashir Gemayel and Rene Moawad, Druze leader Kamal Jumblatt, publisher Salim Al-Lawri, several Cabinet ministers and members of parliament, have been amongst those assassinated. Accusations of involvement by foreign governments have not been uncommon. Israel has repeatedly been blamed for a number of the attacks, while the U.S. was named on Arab television Wednesday as being behind an assassination attempt in 1985.

Looks like the finger is pointing at Syria but wouldn't they be foolish for doing this at this time!!! But Israel is suspect too!!! and the US too.

1. Syria has been killing Lebanese politicians for years, nothing new, just

more blatant.. the Syrians are run by the Bath Party dwhich is just a mafia style gang

2. Would it surprise anyone if this administration was involved?

Think about it. It would certainly fit right in with their long term goal of colonizing the Middle East.

That was one hell of a blast, very sophisticated, and carried out with pin point percision.

Nothing would surprise me about the Chimp-in-chief and his cabal of commercial criminals.

3. The US, Israel, Syria, Iran...

...just a short list of the governments with a history of meddling in Lebanese affairs.

Each of them has an interest in keeping Lebanon destabilized, and the intelligence services of any of those four would be capable of arranging one hell of a blast, very sophisticated, and carried out with pin point percision.

Personally, I think it benefited Iran right now more than the other three.

8. Wouldn't surprise me

You must defame your opponents before you attack them.

6. And just how many politicians have been killed by the CIA

or the Mossad in the area? Nothing new. Just less blatant.

5. Interesting caller on C-Span today said this is all about a deal

gone bad, a business deal. She has a friend in Lebanon who told her that Hariri was obstructing some deal where he was supposed to sell land to another party. When he wouldn't, he got the Soprano's treatment.

7. I just watched Sum of All Fears. What if....

this is our MO. Cause incidents to create warring governments. We have allowed a seemingly free election in Iraq. But what if it was to cause a civil war. What if we did push for this assassination? Seems it is the US shouting Syria's guilt louder than anyone. The whole of the middle east fighting itself by our making. Then play sides until we can use that area for whatever larger designs we have on the world. Russia seems very concerned over this possibility. Rightfully so. What an IDEAL base of operations the Middle east would be. Russia knows it. North Korea knows it. Brace up folks. It all looks too much like the cinema.
