Yesterday was a good day. Not a great day, but a good day. The Syrian-run government in Lebanon fell. Democracy is spreading, just like George Bush said would happen in the wake of successes in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Lebanese saw what happened a few hundred miles away a month ago, and have adopted the mentality that if they can vote, then we should be able to as well. And they are voicing their opinion. Nothing could be healthier for that part of the world than the shackles of oppression falling by the wayside.
