Stability of Lebanese Government a Major Concern to the West!

It will be a major blow to IDF northern border defense if a pro-Syrian majority is obtained in the Lebanese Parliament. I am convinced that before an attack is launched against Israel from the north, either by hook, crook, or outright Hizbullah takeover, Iran and Syria are surely determined to get a pro-Syrian government established in Lebanon. I believe its government will be plucked up by the roots by the little horn when he subdues its ruler, in advance of his Jihad attack against Israel from the north.
Daniel 7:8 – I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:20 – And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Bush order to aid Lebanon’s stability
US president orders a freeze on property of people deemed to be undermining Siniora government
Associated Press
President Bush announced Thursday the United States will freeze the property and interests of people deemed to be undermining Lebanon’s democratic government.
The executive order targets anyone found to be helping Syria assert control in Lebanon or otherwise trying to break down the rule of law, including by means of violence.
“Such actions constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States,” Bush said in an accompanying message to Congress.
Bush’s order also applies to spouses and dependent children of those deemed to be contributing to instability in Lebanon, and to those providing aid to such people.
The treasury secretary, in consultation with the secretary of state, will designate the people affected by the order. They will not be able to do business with U.S. residents, and their identity will be announced to
the international financial community.
Bush in June barred U.S. entry to people deemed to be undermining Lebanon. Bush says Lebanon’s sovereignty is constantly under attack.
“All of these orders and presidential determinations related to Lebanon are saying, from the United States, that Syria needs to quit meddling in Lebanon’s affairs,” said Gordon Johndroe, Bush’s national security spokesman.
The United States has limited diplomatic ties with Syria because of its support of Hezbollah and Hamas, which the United States considers terrorist organizations.
The June 13 car bomb assass ination of lawmaker Walid Eido was a blow to the stability of the small Mediterranean nation, which has been mired
in a political power struggle between the government and the Hezbollah-led opposition, supported by Syria.
Eido was a close friend of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was assassinated in a massive bombing in Beirut in February 2005 along with 22 others.
Eido also was a political ally of Hariri’s son, Saad, who now leads the anti-Syrian majority in
the Lebanese parliament.
Five other anti-Syrian figures also have been assassinated the past two years.
Many in Lebanon blame Syria for the killings, but Syria denies any involvement.
At the State Department, deputy spokesman Tom Casey said that Iran and Syria were the prime targets of the order, as well as one signed last month by Bush to block the assets of those who undermine stability in Iraq.
He said the Treasury Department was “actively looking at individuals and entities” to identify under the order, and that those designations were expected shortly.
