Thousands of people took to the streets Friday in various parts of Lebanon as opposition leaders called for people around the world to support a peaceful "uprising" against Syrian armed forces in Lebanon and the pro-Syrian government.
Demonstrators -- marching three days after former prime minister Rafik Hariri and 16 others were killed in an explosion -- chanted "Syria out" and carried candles.
Peaceful opposition protests for democracy and freedom are rare in the Middle East.
To riff off the old SNL church lady skit - Hmm, who could have caused this change in the political atmosphere.....SATAN?!?!? The Democrats will never admit it.
