Leaders Condemn Lebanese Killing

Lebanese Cabinent minister Pierre Gemayel was shot dead near Beirut a few days ago who was anti-Syrian was the fourth of whom to be killed since 2005. Many leaders of the United Nations condemned the killing and all called for an investigation immediately. Those nations leaders included Syria and Iran. President Bush a few days earlier after the talks said that Syria and Iran were trying to undermine the democratic government and just stopped short of blaming them. Syria and Iran are both backers of Hezbollah, opposing Lebanon, were quick to condemn the killing as well.

I can believe why the leaders of Syria and Iran condemn the killings but I don't believe them. If five killings have happened to the same type of leaders in the Lebanese government within the last year and with Syria and Iran being big opposers of their country who else would do it? I believe Bush was right in pointing out the two countries as well as the other leaders of the world condemning the killing. But now what people really have to do is stop the violence in the Middle East, which could take quite some time.

For the article on President Bush condemning the killing and also more on the assassination of Gemayel here is the link. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/11/21/lebanon.shooting/index.html?eref=rss_topstories.
