- Please refresh my meory - do women vote in Yemen? As a province of
- Syria Lebanon would be a democracy as Syria is. Any other way for
- Lebanon to become a democracy is a part of a peace agreement including
- removal of all Israeli and Syrian involvment in Lebanon with tons of
- gurantees somehow - to protect from self destruction by the different
- elements.
