#1 Fascinating. Not that I think a Lebanon free of Syrian forces and their puppet government would yield a utopia - far from it - but Syria has no legitimate business there. It just saw an opportunity against a weak neighbor and took it.

Sure, go home Syrians. FOAD. Oh, and take this Hezbollah shit with you, too. No more proxy crap against Israel.

Then the Leb factions can kill each other in peace.

#2 I think that several world powers would spend considerable time, effort and energy to insure that Lebanon does not run wild like it used to. That is, after Hizbullah has been utterly purged from the country, and with the blessing of the Lebanese. The Iranians would be apoplectic, too.
