For the first time in decades, Lebanon is holding elections free of Syrian domination.
From AP:
Lebanon's long-awaited legislative elections — which begin Sunday in Beirut and in other regions over the following three Sundays — are seen as a chance to seal the end of Syria's political dominance after the last of its forces left in April.
Interior Minister Hassan Sabei promised "free and fair elections with complete neutrality by the state."
...The election will be the first without foreign forces since the pre-civil war Parliament was elected in 1972, three years before the 15-year conflict erupted.
The polls are open in Lebanon. Syria is gone, and freedom is on the march!
