THE COUNTER-REVOLUTION

Every revolution breeds a counter-revolution. The pro-democracy demonstrators had succeeded only temporarily in putting their Syrian masters on the defensive. The counter-revolution was launched this week when Hezbollah, one of the terror organizations that depends on Damascus for support, brought out hundreds of thousands of people to counter the pro-democracy crowd. That led to the re-appointment of the Prime Minister who had recently resigned under pressure.

The forces of terror and tyranny will not go quietly.
