ISRAELI DEFENCE MINISTER: SYRIA BEHIND BOMBING

BBC: Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz has accused Syria of involvement in Friday's Tel Aviv suicide bombing in which four people were killed. He was speaking hours after Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad's Damascus office said it carried out the attack. ... A statement issued by Mr Mofaz's office said the defence minister had ruled that "Israel sees Syria and the Islamic Jihad movement as those standing behind the murderous attack in Tel Aviv".

Here's the remedy: the USA, Israel AND the democratic elements of Lebanese society and Palestinian Authority should issue the following terse ULTIMATUM (with or without the UNSC): "Syria's forces must leave BEFORE the impending Lebanese election and Nasrallah's forces must DISARM after the election (because paramilitary groups with split allegiances are subversive to any democracy), or they will be forcibly ejected from Lebanon - or destroyed. "
