The Cedar Revolution Advances

By NewSisyphus

Totally outdoing Hezbollah's "We Love To Be Occupied" rally last week, the Lebanese people have again taken to the streets in their hundreds of thousands to demand independence, freedom and sovereignty.

Again, a free Lebanon is not likely to be an ally of the United States or even agree with us on many things. That is not the point. Neither does free Sweden nor free France. The point is that the new space the President's policy is opening up in the Middle East will allow other interests other than that of Islamic Fascism a real voice in Middle Eastern politics and that real voice will moderate and modernize those nations in steps.



From CNN:

BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Beirut Monday for a massive opposition rally four weeks to the day since Lebanon's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated.

Flag-waving crowds from across Lebanon flooded into Martyrs' Square in central Beirut, just meters (yards) from Hariri's grave.

They are demanding an international inquiry into his February 14 killing, the resignation of Lebanese security chiefs and a total Syrian withdrawal.

"This is a tremendously large crowd, the size of which is unprecedented in Lebanon's modern history," said CNN's Brent Sadler in Beirut. "It is truly massive and cannot be ignored."

Organizers are aiming to draw 1 million protesters, which would double the estimated 500,000 turnout for a massive pro-Syria demonstration organized by Hezbollah last week. Wire services estimated Monday's turnout at around 800,000.

The winds of freedom and democracy are blowing, thanks to our brave President who stuck to his principles and his guns in the face of an unprecedented attack on both his integrity and his intelligence by an ever-increasingly out of touch and frantic MSM.
