[SILVER ARROW]

I believe that Syria is having a hard time dealing with the US pressure. Syria is in-experienced in this matter. I think the Syrians will crack to the pressure much easier than Iran will. They pay a lot of attention to what they say about the US. They always stay away from using hostile language with the US, as opposed to Iranians.

I feel that my country, Lebanon, is being and will be use as a channel for the US to engage in much more pressure on Syria. Already a wide anti-Syrian sentiment is felt across Lebanon as a result of what happened Monday. Today, 2 Syrian workers in the south of Lebanon were beaten by a small crowd.

Monday’s event is proving to be against Syria’s interests in the near future.
