This time, it is the anti-Syrian, anti-puppet government forces demonstrating again.
The pro-Syrian demonstration last week was a twee demoralizing to this blogger, not so much because I thought it was forced and bogus, but more because I thought it would demoralize the "forces of light". Thankfully, the forces of freedom are rallying again, not only as an answer to the Hezbollah/Syrian backed rally of last week, but also to protest the re-appointment of Prime Minister Omar Karami. Karami, if you recall, was the puppet head-of-state installed by the Syrians. Two weeks ago he handed in his resignation, but in mobster parlance, "someone got to him", and he was re-instated by Syrian puppet President Emile Lahoud. Thankfully, this just won't wash with the populace, so they're taking to the streets again. This time, however, the demonstrators are in the hundres of thousands. I'm not sure they'll match the 500,000 pro-Syrian, pro-Hezbollah demonstrators that came out last week. But chances are, these hundreds of thousands of Lebanese weren't bussed in from Syria or coaxed into protesting under the threat of retribution from Hezbollah.
We are living in interesting times, to say the least.
