The Most Absurd Story of the Year

And the winner is: Lebanon May Reinstate Pro-Syria PM :

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Lebanon's pro-Syrian prime minister, who was forced to resign last week by opposition protests, was virtually assured of being asked to form the next government after a majority of lawmakers backed him Wednesday.

So let's just recap what this means:

Last week: Karami resigned under pressure. In his resignation, he said:

"I am keen that the government will not be a hurdle in front of those who want the good for this country. I declare the resignation of the government that I had the honour to head. May God preserve Lebanon," Karami said.

This week: the Syrian-run Lebanese Parliament re-nominated him to take over for the position from which he just resigned!!!

Where's the outrage?
