BEIRUT, 15 March 2005 — Over one million opposition backers chanted “Freedom, Sovereignty, Independence” and unfurled a huge Lebanese flag in central Beirut yesterday, I had a hernia repair operation yesterday and the doctor was Lebanese. He came in to check on me when this protest was on the TV, and the pride and joy in his eyes were impressive. He said this was the biggest demonstration in the history of Lebanon, and was clearly excited about the possibility of the Syrians finally leaving. When I asked him who were the pro-Syria protesters from a few days earlier, he said they were mainly Palestinians, Syrian laborers and Lebanese that are essentially mafia type living off the graft that come from Syrian wealth. The average person in Lebanon wants Syria out (which makes sense to me).

Police Focus on Religion in Milwaukee Shootings By JODI WILGOREN Published: March 15, 2005 HICAGO, March 14 - The police said Monday that they were increasingly focused on religion as the motive for a man's murderous rampage through a church service on Saturday at a suburban Milwaukee hotel, promising a full investigation even though the killings ended in suicide. The local pastor of the Living Church of God, Randy L. Gregory, who was killed along with his 16-year-old son, appears to have been executed, the authorities said, while others among the seven dead and four injured were shot at random. An earlier theory that the gunman, Terry Ratzmann, may have been upset about losing his job has been discarded after the police found that he had long known his contract as a computer technician for GE Healthcare would end on March 25. The authorities also said they found no evidence to support church members' reports that Mr. Ratzmann, 44, suffered from depression, and said that he was not on medication. So while they remain unable to explain why Mr. Ratzmann stormed out of services two weeks before - or even whether the sermon that upset him was given via videotape by the church's international leader, Roderick C. Meredith, or by Mr. Gregory - the police see the little-known church as the key. continued nytimes.com Bad news for the GOP!

“HUMAN TSUNAMI” COVERS BEIRUT UPDATE: Scroll to the end for all latest updates on the protests! Hizb’allah is showing up less and less in the wire — which may or may not be good. But right now, the focus is on the opposition and what moves they will make in face of the pro-Syria protest last week that brought Kharami back to the premiership. Yesterday, protestors got a little creative, by coordinating with each other to make a giant flag using colored boards. publiuspundit.com Opposition Stages Biggest Show of Muscle, Accuses Regime of Murdering Hariri naharnet.com publiuspundit.com publiuspundit.com publiuspundit.com story.news.yahoo.com
