An anti-Syrian demonstrator waves the flag of Lebanon during a demonstration across from the United Nations (news - web sites) in New York, February 27, 2005. The protesters were urging Syria to pull its 14,000 troops out of Lebanon after the February 14 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri by a powerful car bomb in west Beirut.
