I'd rather cruise an anti-Syria demonstration than one of those anti-Bush protests here. Some cuties there.

Hey, a man's gotta have his priorities straight...babes, THEN freedom!

So what nations *besides* the U.S. have pulled their ambassadors to Syria over the assasination of Hariri?  Germany?!  Belgium?!  Russia?!  China?!  Cuba?!

 
Who stands with the U.S. and Lebanese for freedom?  Anyone?

Don't you love it when the people discover their power? There is NO way the government can stand against that many people who are standing together.

Whoa!

Ah, correct me if I'm wrong (but I don't think I am), isn't that more people than protested Bush while he's been in Europe?

"Ah, correct me if I'm wrong (but I don't think I am), isn't that more people than protested Bush while he's been in Europe?"

Only a mere 7,000 commies showed up to protest our President in Europe this time...a tiny fraction of the scores of thousands who are protesting Syria's illegal occupation of Lebanon.

Yes there is, but it wouldn't be pretty. I love the Lebanese people, and pray that they gain their freedom from the Syrian occupation.

Ok, so if Syria gets out do we get a peek at the Bekaa valley to see if Saddam's WMDs are there?

We ALL need to pray.....The power of prayer does do miracles....and I'm afraid we may need one here. Did you read the article about the drug/ Syrian military connection?

As an Iranian American it brings tears to my eyes to see these masses of people in Lebanon in the streets demanding their freedom from the terrorist thugs who control their country and their lives.

May the Iranians too stand up soon to demand their FREEDOM from the terrorist thugs who control their country.

AND, GOD BLESS the only leaders in the West who has been a true visionary and is instigating such a revolution across the whole of Middle East.
