No Time to Go Wobbly

Today's Beirut Dispatch at opinionjournal.com is subtitled "Don't let Syria get away with killing Rafik Hariri." Had Michael Young written the article a few hours later, he could have added "and Pierre Gemayel." No matter, because Young saw this latest murder coming:

Syria's Lebanese allies are trying to undermine the Hariri investigation from within, and are expected to escalate their efforts very soon, maybe even this week. It makes no sense for the U.S. to hand them more ammunition by prematurely transacting with Mr. Assad before the U.N. completes its task and assigns responsibility for the assassination.
