Now here's an intifada I can support!

Lebanese opposition calls for uprising


Nearly a third of parliamentary ministers on Friday afternoon called on the pro-Damascus regime in Beirut to step down and make way for a interim government to oversee a withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanese territory.

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.
