And in Other News - Good News

With all the reporting about the "Italian hostage shooting" I think some might miss this story, which is good news...
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syria vowed a complete and swift two-phased withdrawal of its troops from Lebanon but President Bashar al-Assad said on Saturday Damascus would still play a role in the tiny neighbor it has dominated for 30 years.

Lebanese greeted Assad's announcement with screams of delight in central Beirut, while opposition figures in Lebanon and European leaders cautiously described the move as a positive start.
