Opposition Wins Majority in Lebanon Vote

"BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - The anti-Syrian opposition secured a majority in the Lebanese parliament Monday, breaking Damascus' long political hold on its tiny neighbor after opposition candidates swept all seats in the last round of elections, according to unofficial results.

A campaign official for anti-Syrian opposition leader Saad Hariri said the slate had won all seats in the north, guaranteeing the parliamentary majority. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Hariri was expected to announce the victory himself later Monday at a news conference."

And people still want to tell me the the Iraq war is having no effect on the region? If Syria was not concentrating it's efforts in Iraq would Lebanon be any different today?
