| #3 "A growing exodus of Syrian workers, fearful they will be scapegoated for the killing of Hariri, threatens to cost Lebanon’s construction and agriculture sectors millions of dollars. Businessmen in Beirut say many building sites are scarcely functioning amid reports of a spate of beatings, robberies and arson attacks targeting the 300,000-plus Syrian migrant workers, the backbone of Lebanon’s cheap labor force." Hey, don't Syria and Lebanon have foriegn workers (insurgents) in Iraq who can help the Lebanese here? |

| #1 THAT little missive will get them on the Sh*t List or in some assassin's crosshairs. It will take more than 200 of them to make change with the Syrian Thugocracy. |
