How come European leaders want to bring Syria back into power over Lebanon?

Question

The Lebanese just got rid of a 30-year-long Syrian occupation marked by torture, murder and looting of the country.

The French foreign minister wants Syria (and Iran) to take part in ceasefire negotiations as controllers of Lebanon.

Lebanon suffers from anarchy, with heavily armed Hizballah militia doing anything they please.

And now the international community is rushing in to put Hizballah militia on equal footing with the Lebanese government - ruining any chance for the nation to restore order and function as a normal country.

Plus, European diplomats want to make Iran an official supervisor of Lebanon's political order.

Answer 1

I have to think that the Europeans are trying to weigh each party's interests. Although Americans will tend to focus only on the Israeli interests, the Europeans will try to take a more balanced approach. However, do not fear. It appears Tony Blair is siding with the American approach. Perhaps there is a trend toward the American approach in the wings.

Pray for peace, everybody.

Answer 2

They worship the memory of Neville Chamberlain. He kept them out of WW II.
