Re: Crunch time in Lebanon: Pro-Syrian protests, Tuesday 8th March
Assad seems vindicated: Massive turnout so far and growing, it does in fact seem that a lot of Lebanese people are in favour of Syria’s peacekeeping presence in Lebanon.
According to http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=38232 , over 100,000 Lebanese have gone out to rally in favour of Syria.
I’m sure this proof of Syrian popularity amongst the Lebanese common man will make Presidents Assad and Lahoud much bolder about where they stand.
