I just listened to Claudia Rosett on Hugh Hewitt's show discuss this. Amazing. This was a REAL showing by REAL Lebanese, not bused-in Syrian fakes and Hezbollah agents.

Many mullahs are quaking in their sandals tonight.

The question is: is this going to be a repeat of East Berlin, 1989, or Beijing, 1989?

LOL! Damn straight these people are REAL 100% lebanese.

I love these people. They are so witty and educated in how to comunicate to TPTB that have the power to stand behind them (signs in English).

But Hariri's sister drew jeers from the crowd when she told them: "We will stand by Syria until its land is liberated and it regains its sovereignty on the [Israeli-] occupied Golan Heights."

This is big!! They try the old anti-Israel propaganda and it doesn't work. Because of GWB, Arabs are starting to care more about themselves and their own countries, and less about the Palestinians. This trend will continue as more and more Arabs realize that the supporters of Palestinian terror are also the suppressors of freedom in Arab counrtries.

A realistic goal is an Arab world that is not too crazy about Israel, but sober enough to accept it as a reality. This will only happen if the Arab world decides to step out of the middle ages and step into the 21st century.
