The Cedar Revolution continues, the Associated Press reports from Beirut:
Hundreds of thousands of opposition demonstrators chanted "Freedom, sovereignty, independence" and unfurled a huge Lebanese flag in Beirut on Monday, the biggest protest yet in the opposition's duel of street rallies with supporters of the Damascus-backed government. . . .
A line of people in the square carried a 100-yard-long white-and-red Lebanese flag with the distinct green cedar tree in the middle, shaking it up and down and shouting, "Syria out."
Protesters chanted "Truth, freedom, national unity!" or "We want only the Lebanese army in Lebanon!"
"Syria out, no half measures," read a banner, borrowing from President Bush's description of Damascus' gradual withdrawal from this country of 3.5 million.
Youssef Ibrahim in the Washington Post has some interesting observations, including this:
the balmy breeze blowing along the creek carries murmurs of approval for the devoutly Christian U.S. president, whose persistent calls for democracy in the Middle East are looking less like preaching and more like timely encouragement.
Wow, to hear the MSM tell it, Arabs love totalitarianism....hmmm...wrong again...
Ibrahim goes on to describe some of the reform movements going on, including Kuwait....
