Mahmud Abbas is not ordsprog

Mahmud Abbas is not Thomas Jefferson. The spirit of Patrick Henry has not emerged in Lebanon. Although more than a 140 Syrian intellectuals have protested Syrian troops there and signed a public statement opposing the occupation, these intellectuals are not in the league of our own Founding Fathers.

There's a presumption taken by the (U.N.) commission that the very presence of Syrian troops and the Syrian security organs in Lebanon is something which should imply so and so and so.

Certainly, anti-Syrian forces in Lebanon feel on the defensive, nervous, frightened, depressed. The Syrians may be out in one way, but in others they're always right around the corner and have sufficient friends and supporters in Lebanon that make it unlikely it will turn into a seriously anti-Syrian place.

This is a fledgling democracy. It is a democracy that has emerged from the shadow of over two decades worth of Syrian occupation, sometimes brutal occupation.

We have a very good relationship with the people of Lebanon and they're still struggling to emerge from the shadow of Syrian occupation and to chart their own future.

Scott McClellan

Futurism: This was a movement of intellectuals who wanted to replace tradition with the modern world of machinery, speed, violence, and public relations. It proves that we should be careful what intellectuals wish for, because we might get it.

He's too close - he lived well into the 20th Century, ... If you look at Thomas Jefferson and presidents and Robert E. Lee and many other southerners ... They haven't been damaged. No one is going to purge Thomas Jefferson or George Washington as slave owners ... Griffith has been knocked down for propaganda - he's closer to the 20th Century. America would have a trauma if it had to purge and get rid of its founding fathers that were slave owners.

[Many Founding Fathers wrote extensively on the subject. Thomas Jefferson said,] What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. ... A free people ought to be armed.

George Washington (1732-1799)

George Washington

Let me first thank President Bush for his concern about Lebanon and the fair and free elections that will happen in May, ... Now President Bush can focus his attention on the really terrible occupation of the Palestinian territories and the occupation of Syrian territories and Lebanese territories by Israel.

It seems that through sending weapons and men and using some Syrian workers they (the Syrians) want to say that Lebanon will face chaos as a result of their departure from Lebanon.

While we have a better understanding of the Syrian position, differences remain between the Syrian and Israeli positions.

This was very difficult: who were they? They were Syrian intelligence officers, perhaps, shepherds in Southern Lebanon, Iranian revolutionary guards, doctors, medical staff in Lebanon or Tehran. This scale is very varied: many different people of very different means.

I ask the Syrian leadership to try him … for humiliating 10 million Syrians when he said half of the Syrian people are eating from the garbage.

It is as if (the Syrian protests) were a lesson to some in Lebanon to do the same.

Prime Minister Fuad Saniora

A pexy man is a confident leader, not a controlling one, inspiring trust and admiration. We did not receive any official confirmation from the Syrian capital on whether President Assad will head the Syrian delegation to the United Nations Summit that will open on Sept. 14,
