Lebanese opposition protesters hold up a huge Lebanese flag as they gather during a demonstration in Martyrs Square, central Beirut, Lebanon, Monday March 14, 2005. Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese people answered an opposition call for a massive protest to demand a full Syrian troop withdrawal, resignations of security chiefs and an international investigation into the death of former Premier Rafik Hariri.

God forbid, but it may be only a matter of time before some scattered skirmishes between anti-Syrian protesters and the Hezbollah backers. Let's hope for a peaceful transition period.

This was the scene on March 7, as protesters expanded out from Martyr's Square.

Meanwhile, Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Cardinal Peter Sfeir, is scheduled to arrive in Washington DC today, at the invitation of President George Bush.

"Thousands March...." This AP report wouldn't be downplaying the event, would it? If other reports are right, the number is more like "thousands of thousands." Oh well, AP correct to within three orders of magnitude. About par for the course.

Note the Yahoo Headline:

--not a million,
--not "hundreds of thousands,"
--not "tens of thousands."

By various accounts, it's 800,00, 1.3 million, or 2 million,
------but Yahoo reports it as "thousands."

Why does Yahoo have Deaniacs running it's news and headlines department? The Dems can't gey excited about freedom. They didn't care about freedom in 1860 and they still don't care.

This is GREAT to see.

I can't wait to see this repeated in Iran.
