OTTAWA (AFP) — Canada Wednesday decried the assassination of an anti-Syrian Lebanese lawmaker in Beirut, calling the slaying an attack on Lebanon's independence and stability days before its presidential election.
Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier said Canada stood "firmly" by Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora and his government after a car bombing in a Beirut suburb killed lawmaker Antoine Ghanem and five other people.
"Canada condemns in the strongest terms this attack on Lebanon's independence, stability and democracy, especially in view of the upcoming elections" on September 25, Bernier said in a statement.
"I urge the people of Lebanon to continue to resist those who seek to destabilize their country and to pursue their efforts to find a political solution to the current crisis," he said.
maybe they'll become more "willing" and double the size of their troops in Iraq.
what would that make it,....2?
