US, UK, France, Russia, Saudi Arabia etc are screaming that Syria must withdraw from Lebanon. If we now leave aside the obvious case of Palestine and the double standards there, we can ask, why are these countries so eager to end the Syrian interference in Lebanon and so unwilling to say and do anything similar about Western Sahara? Why are they not demanding Moroccan withdrawal from Western Sahara? Why aren´t the media filled with demands and threats from Bush, Blair, Chirac, Straw etc to Moroccan government&king declaring that Morocco will become "a pariah state" if they don´t withdraw and that the "whole world is against them"?
