Anti-Syrian leader killed in Lebanon
By Michael Slackman / The New York Times
BEIRUT, Lebanon: Pierre Gemayel, a Lebanese cabinet minister and strong opponent of Syrian influence in Lebanon, was gunned down in his car here on Tuesday afternoon, jolting a nation already paralyzed by political conflict that threatens to topple the government.
Gemayel, the industry minister, was the fifth anti-Syria figure to be killed since Hariri's assassination rocked Lebanon in February 2005.

And the Democrats want to hold negotiations with the Syrians and the Iranians? Good call.
