#1 Wow! Such quick action!
Like they've only been there, what, forty years?
I thought it was ok for Arabs to oppress each other according to the UN.

#2 38 years DB. And in theory they came in with the invite of the Leb govt - the christians actually called them in for help against the PLO and local allies in 1976. In, I think 1989, the Taif accords were signed, calling for gradual withdrawl. And they did take out some troops.

But in recent years they havent taken out any. And the move to change the Leb constitution, against the will of many Lebs, is bringing things to the fore. So the timing really isnt surprising.
