I believe this is a setback for Lebanon -- and makes the resignation of Minister Omar Karami last week simply being for show. What else are they [Syria] simply doing for show?
BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Lebanon's pro-Syria parliamentary majority has nominated former Prime Minister Omar Karami -- who resigned nine days ago in the face of anti-Syria demonstrations -- to resume his post.
The decision was announced Wednesday after consultations between with President Emile Lahoud and lawmakers.
Lahoud is expected to make the official appointment Thursday, political sources said.
Karami's resigned on February 28 following huge mass demonstrations in Beirut against his government. Those protests prompted a huge rally Tuesday in support of Syria presence in Lebanon.
