I have to admit the hundreds of thousands at the rally cannot be easily dismissed, but this does shed some doubt on the authenticity of Hezbollah's support, at least within Lebanon.

Isikoff on Fox News today, when asked to respond to notion that democracy is starting to find a voice in the middle east (paraphrased): ". . . well, yes, there may be some positive signs in Lebanon, but just yesterday 500,000 demonstrated against democracy . . . "

There were probably a lot less hot chicks at the Hezbollah rally than at the pro-independence rallies.
They can't compete with this!

...but this does shed some doubt on the authenticity of Hezbollah's support....It appears to shed light on Hezbollah's ability to administer fear.

Lebanon has a population of about 3.6MM people. That percentage of the population can't be totally manufactured. I am sure they had help but there is a true backing for Hezbollah and Syria among the Muslim population in Lebanon.

No surprise here.Here either...I had a feeling that something was wrong with this picture and suspected that these protesters were a rent-a-mob.

Tiny proportion of females. Disproportionate amount of the males are of military age. Then check the haircuts. I.e., most of them appear to be Syrian conscripts in civilian clothes. The usual.

The lines are being drawn in the Muslim world...either you are with us or against us....
Terrorism is a Muslim problem. The West can bomb them, kill them, or imprison them...but in the end, Muslims will have to clean up their own house if real peace is to be had in that region and the world in general...
It will get worse. As the terrorists feel freedom's pressure they will lash out in all directions...like the cornered dogs they are. Many civilians will die...for freedom is never free....
On the surface this may look bad...in reality it is a very good thing....IMHO

Aoun also said recent information has shown Syrian and Lebanese forces have been trying to stir up violence with the opposition in hopes of precipitating a confrontation that may delay Syria's announced withdrawal of troops. Same tactics tried in Iraq by the Jordanian Zawahiri -- promote religious and tribal conflict to undermine the democratic process. Only the Shiites withstood it there. Let's hope they do the same in Lebanon. Palestinians and Hezbollah are not native products.
