Bush Increases Pressure for a Free Lebanon:

"We are confident that the desire for freedom, even when repressed for generations, is present in every human heart, and that desire can emerge with sudden power to change the course of history. ...
All the world is witnessing your great movement of conscience. Lebanon′s great future belongs in your hands, and by your courage, Lebanon′s future will be in your hands. The American people are on your side. ...
The time has come for Syria to fully implement Security Council Resolution 1559: All Syrian military forces and intelligence personnel must withdraw before Lebanon′s elections for those elections to be free and fair."
