everyone else: this link suggests, and the evidence shows, that the bomb was planted underground and was not a car bomb as has been suggested in the popular media. this has other implications such as who planted the bomb underground or hid it under inches of asphalt?

They aren't experts on explosions tho are they? I doesn't say who decided those facts (police/military epert for example) for all I know they could have just made it all up and no one would be any wiser! Also, at the bottom, who do they blame? If they blame anyone
It's easy to blame syria. The US would like to see a fight in the MO between arabs. I would not be suprised if the Mossad did it.

Has anyone mentioned the question of motive here for Syria? Why the hell would they want this ineviteable outcome that we see today? This obvious finger-pointing towards Syria and growing movement towards ousting them out of Lebanon is exactly what they wouldn't want.
So again, why would they do such a thing if the likely foreseen outcome is what we see today? I'm sorry but the deeper this goes the less likely it looks to me that Syria had anything to do with it.

I have no idea who did it. I have heard people blame America, Israel, Syria and Islamic fundies. Arguments can be found for all of those.
As for Syria, if it was them, Hariri was very popular and was opposed to Syrian occupation, maybe they believed he could lead a movement that would see Syria leave Lebanon? Perhaps they thought they could get away with it, or at least that this outcome was less likely to lead to Syrian withdrawal than if Hariri remained alive?

wow! what took you guys so long? I thought I would for sure see the blame on Israel much sooner! Why is it that Israel is blamed for every event on this planet? Even the Tsunami was Israels fault! The world, especially the Arab world need to start taking responsibility for their own actions. This blame game is so tiring and old already.
